Fishing with a Five Year Old ~ By, The Copper Curmudgeon

Fishing With a Five Year Old . . .

Horned toads exist. When we first moved to California the guys in my new school called me a liar when I told them that the blue belly lizards they had were for girls . . . cuz real boys had horned toads.

    If you think there are no horned toads in California, you better think again. I grew up in the Mojave desert and my favorite critters were the horned toads and the desert tortoise. It has been many years since this old grandma was a girl and chased those funny creatures, but I bet I didn’t catch them all.
