Hopkins the Frog


This is the frog that I almost RAN over with my lawn mower. Scared the socks off me. I can't even handle road kill- let alone ME chopping up a frog and seeing it.

Well, after I mowed the lawn Marek and I went outside to play. Then I almost STEPPED on it. It almost died TWICE!!!

I decided to show Marek the little froggy.


"Marek! Come here! It's a frog!! It's hopkins! (from signing time)"
Marek came rushing over and started inspecting it.
"Ribbit Ribbit! Froooog! Ribbit Ribbit" says Marek

Then...


He goes to touch it- which surprised me- I don't know why! But I kinda let out a, "WAHHHH!" cuz I didn't know what it would do or if Marek would squish it or something. This scared Marek to death and he ran away totally freaked out and crying.

I scarred Marek from frogs. That is girly! So I hurried and was like, "No Marek! It's nice! You can touch it! Go touch it!" (really? do I even know it is nice? can he really touch it? chaz would let him, so I let him!)

So just as Marek got brave and ran over to touch little Hopkins again...

Marek tripped.


On poor Hopkins.

I almost died. I hurried and grabbed Marek and ran on the deck cuz I was so grossed out. His head was smushed- as you can see. I got the pic from the deck cuz I knew Chaz would want to see it.

So the frog that I thought was LUCKY was not so lucky after all!
