Gecko's, Ice Cubes, and the Third Step Up

 Once upon a time there was an Auntie who said she'd babysit her niece and nephew for an evening (which she did). While the parents of these children were gone she decided she needed a drink of ice water.

 So she opened the freezer door. That's normal right? To open a freezer door to get ice?

 Upon opening the freezer door she noticed a lightning-quick, gecko-like, movement. That's normal right? Gecko's in the freezer?

*Wait a minute here... um, gecko. freezer. gecko in freezer. GECKO in FREEZER!!!!!!* 

 So Auntie did the only thing any good Auntie would do, she moved into survival mode. (Survival mode is where you jump to the side of the freezer while deciding rapidly whether to leave the door open or slam it quickly and allow said gecko to freeze to death.)

 Thankfully, for the gecko, this Auntie was somewhat of a greeny and very much of a let's-not-cause-poor-stupid-animals-unnecessary-pain sort of person, so she left the door open.

 She watched with great interest while the gecko slowly approached the door. (Actually she kinda played peek a boo with it. Considering that gecko's are small and easily frightened she figured that it would leave the freezer more quickly if it couldn't see her, ahem.) Upon reaching the ledge where the freezer blows freezing air at the frozen food. Friend gecko froze (figuratively). The reason for this was simple. Gecko's are cold blooded creatures and all of that freezing air slowed him down.

 So Auntie, with her poor trembling animal loving heart, did the only human thing she could think of. She blew at it. Hard. In hopes that the warm air would over power the cold. It didn't work. Because, believe it or not. There was more cold air blowing from the freezer, than there was warm air blowing from Aunties mouth.

 So Auntie moved into kind and loving, ulterior motives for being nice to nephew, mode and hollered up the stairs: "Hey Jubers! Come down here, quick! I have a gecko for you to catch!"

 Jubers opened the door slowly after a third summons from Auntie and replied: "A gecko for me to catch! I'm comin'!

 Auntie explained carefully to him that this gecko wasn't feeling so good, so he had to be gentle gentle, and carry the gecko straight outside.

 She placed his stool in front of the freezer, pointed out (from a distance) where the gecko was, and informed him that she was going to go open the door for him. Which she did... and then she retreated to the third step to the upstairs to watch him carry it out. (This, of course, was only for the purpose of being out of his way, ahem. :P )

 And after he carried the gecko out she washed his hands with soap and water.

 But now Auntie has a problem to solve (because she's kinda thirsty). Did gecko, or did gecko not, happen to walk across the ice cubes while he was in the freezer!?
