It's officially National Frog Month

[HeartlandSoul]

I think frogs are very cool. They always look like they're thinking about something

When I was little we lived by a pond and my dad would catch frogs for me to play with. Unfortunately none of them ever turned into princes

Today I have little toy and decorative frogs all over my entire house! I've got 5 on my computer monitor alone

[HeartlandSoul]

Not you Salome

Eating frog legs to me is like eating a pet dog or cat

 

[Sicy]

Frogs freak me out

 

[Ody]

well, then again, demon cats freak me out

 

[HeartlandSoul]

The fact that frogs freak most people out makes them even more entertaining

I once had a frog named Nigel.......

Or was he a toad?

I play real-life frogger at the airport sometimes.

Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my rag-time gal

Frogs have:
smooth or slimy skin
strong, long legs
webbed hind feet
two bulging eyes
lay eggs in clusters
a group of frogs is called an ARMY of frogs

Toads have:
warty and dry skin
stubby bodies with short hind legs
paratoid glands behind eyes
lay eggs in long chains
a group of toads is called a KNOT of toads

So says the wisdom of the internet

Poison frogs are the best! Saw some at the botanical gardens in St. Louis during spring break. Ribbit!

If you kis them they turn into poison princes.

Ehhh, Nigel must have been a toad

Thanks for the research Heartland Soul!

I once had to keep tadpoles/frogs for a school biology project. The only problem was that once the tadpoles had grown into frogs, the ones that were still tadpoles started to eat the frogs. It was slightly freakish.

Tadpoles freak me out but frogs are okay

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Hmm...did I spell tadpole right? It just looks so ridiculous written down. Or maybe it's just that I've written "tadpole" about five times in the last two minutes. Hmm.

 

[irelandwhispers]

We used to catch tadpoles from the lakes and ponds in Michigan all the time. Painted turtles are more fun, though. Or crawdads.
