Another Alien is in the House!

  Never...I repeat...NEVER leave aliens alone!  Especially when there are two aliens!  Those little green beings multiply.  Several years ago, a tiny lime green alien was found hiding in the corner of the living room.   I had no problem with his presence but, try as I might, my smalltalk did not receive a response.  I merely wanted to find out where he was from and why he decided that my living room was now his domain.  Since I received no satisfactory answers, I merely shrugged the shoulders and left him be.  I must admit that seeing a glowing figure in the corner of the living room was a bit unsettling at first but I sort of grew to like the little guy over time.  His presence soon became natural and I never questioned his existence further.  Then....

  About a year later, another tiny green alien joined the first.  Even though this one was a bit different, I assumed they knew each other and my first friend had sent for his "wife" (if aliens have wives.)  Her head was a bit different shape so I figured that was how to tell male from female.  Her head was slightly heart shaped and he had large green ears(?).  Ok, so now I had two glowing entities in the Little Bayou House. This was beginning to get a bit crowded but, whatever, if my friend was happy, then all was well.  Two tiny beings are not that bad and, well, they are quiet and unobtrusive (except for the glowing and the fact that their eyes are so black.)  I welcomed the newcomer and thought of how lucky I was to be the only household that had a pair of aliens!  Then....

  This morning, I arose before daylight to find that my aliens have been busy!  A third, even tinier, alien had appeared!  I have a family of aliens that have now taken up residence on the window ledge behind the reed blinds.  They seem to cherish the warmth of the morning sun and perhaps even gleam a bit brighter each night because of their basking!   Hopefully, this little family will not expand further and not take up too much room.  I was pondering if I should build them a tiny alien house but, then again, I have no idea what to build and they seem to be doing rather well without one.

  To be honest, I really have no idea how these little plastic, glow-in-the-dark aliens keep appearing.  Every few months, a new one starts glowing at night and I stick it on the window ledge with the others.  I am sure they are leftover toys from when my kids were little but it does seem a tad strange that I suddenly find them again.  It is always in the middle of the night and always when I am up investigating some strange noise.  Bump, Rattle, Bang!  Another alien is in the house!
