Frog factor

Okay. See… what happened was…

My family headed down to the pool to play cribbage. When we arrived at the table, we discovered that there was a small frog sitting on the table. Naturally, I gently nudged him to get him off the table, and rather than hopping to freedom, he turned to face me and hopped about an inch or so. I remember thinking ‘this little frog’s gonna jump on me.

Naturally, my sister decided to help by petting the frog. Everyone knows frogs like to be pet. I point out to her that if she keeps it up, the frog’s gonna jump on me. Which it does.

All I saw was the frog lunging through the air, directly at my neck. What happened next, happened fast. I know I didn’t scream. I had no control over my facial expression, but wits enough about me to grab the frog and send him on his way- The frog got tossed.

I feel bad about that, but hey, he decided to play chicken first.
