The CUTE new frogs are adorable and bring back alot of childhood memories! My Mom was deathly afraid of frogs and of course as life would have it, I was a tomboy growing up and we had a creek running next to our house. I was never to go down there alone...yea... but I have always been a "free spirit"! I would collect the tadpoles and bring them home and that was fine because they lived in a jar or a tub of water....until they got their legs. I had my fannie dusted many a time for picking at Mom with the frogs! Mind you, I never got into any kind of trouble in my life but even at 65, I am still a free spirit. I was really thrilled when I had a son instead of a daughter! He was still alot of fun to be around until he got married and then he was gone, well almost. He married a whole family so he is always very busy! I got to live through my childhood twice by having a son! I never played with dolls but always had a baseball/bat/tennis racket/or a basketball in my hands. Needless to say, I was a Daddy's girl. He would leave Mom at home and take me fishing. Mom did not like to fish either. I can't wait to do some of the frogs for my GG sons!

thank you for the story, by the way : I love frogs! I have a little pool in my garden with 5 goldfishes. They are nice, But i love it when I see a frog comes to visit my pool too. I think they are adorable and so are the frogs here on Cute ! Miss Veronika did a great job again. Hugs, Gerry
