Ok all you Frog haters heres a story for you. 2 Christmas's ago. I bought my boys one of those tadpole hatchery kits. DON"T ever do that.

It starts out innocently enough, the brochure says it will send you 2-3 tadpoles and if you are lucky 1 will turn into a real live frog!

Wrong so very wrong. They sent me 12.
And all 12 turned into frogs all 12. let me tell you they are creepy looking little suckers. I must mention they were on my kitchen counter in front of my toaster. EEEwww.
About 2 weeks after they looked like frogs 2 were missing then 3 more. And one frog was really fat. really, really fat. He was eating his friends. The pet store says oh you must seperate by size. So now we have 3 tanks on the counter. Big guy in one. 3 and 2 in another. Having fun now!
I tried to give them away preschool first grade. animal learning center. At the center they said actually we don't want any.
come see Wilbur.
Wilbur was a hatch a frog. he was 7 years old and his expected life span was 25- 30 years. I almost died 25 years and I have 7. Well summer came and DH put them on the window sill.
frogs in water in front of sunny window will cook, all the littler ones went belly up. Not Froggey, though he lived. We had froggy for 2 years and he died last year. when he died he was larger than a small orange.

I was so upset that I went out the same day and bought another one. Did I mention I am an idiot? Now that he is getting bigger he sings. Very nice kind of like being in animal kingdom right here in my kitchen.

Oh dear, there was another one out there tonight.



As I ran by, I could hear him rustling in the bushes...taunting me, of course.




I honestly think they know! They know where we are, and they intentionally hop to where ever we are just to scare us! The frogs around my yard have had to hop all the way up the hill to get here!

I was out doing yard work today, and one jumped out from behind the bushes AT me! UGH!

I love frogs. When we were little my brother and I would see how many we could collect. After it rained they'd be everywhere so we start picking them up and holding them in our shirts. When those were full we'd put them in plastic milk jugs that had the tops cut off. We'd have hundreds of little guys. It was fun to let them go and watch this big mound of frogs hop away.

I actually picked one up the other day while walking around the lake and it peed on me. I've already had warts on my hands so no biggie.

My mom is like you though. She's absolutely terrified of frogs. If they get in the house she freaks out and yells for me to get rid of it.

I have loads of frogs in my pond in my garden. I like them as I think they are quite sweet. The only trouble is that I can't tell them apart as there are so many of them so I have called them all Borris and I consider them to be my pets as well as the fish in the pond!

See! That is EXACTLY why I start to shake when I go to the "Learning Express" store where they have one of those " grow a frogs!" I think even HE knows about the whole frog de-legging incident and taunts me! He will swim to the side of his container and stare at me while I am at the cash register!

I'm terrified of frogs too! I always have been. I remember kids chasing me with them when I was in MS. Now my 8 yo dd really wants to show me a frog to 'see what you do'. I'm convinced they taunt me too!

Now I know I'm not the crazy one - there are others out there!

LOL Froggy! You are ok in my book! But, with the frogs singing, that just makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! Mostly because I KNOW they are there taunting me!

I think I might need some professional help!
