gecko/ in a hurry

gecko: a kind of lizard that has very sticky feet. They are very small and can walk on walls. They also chirp. Apparently they have them in Taiwan. Pictures got the "oohs" and "ahhs."

in a hurry: When you need to go somewhere very quickly you are in a hurry. They know what "hurry up" means, so this wasn't that hard to explain. Another phrase that will have its moments to use, but probably not everyday. Oh well.
