As a kid, did you ever want to meet a famous mascot for your birthday? I personally always wanted to hang with the Fraggles from Fraggle Rock, but a 7 year old boy from California wanted to meet the Geico Gecko, and got his wish.

The employees at the Bakersfield Geico office made him a stuff animal of the lizard, as well as having an appearance of someone in a lizard suit.
"It's an easy request to grant and we live here and love to be a part of the community so we are happy to do it," said Trenea Smart of Geico.

I wonder if he was expecting a small, cute version of the gecko, and was excited (or horrified) at meeting a human-sized version.
