The other day, I took my daughter to a new frozen yogurt place. In front of the store, was a person in a frog costume. (The name of the place has something to do with a frog.) Since I'm a little crazy, I struck up a conversation with this individual. Here's how it went:
Me: "It's like 95 degrees out here. You must be roasting!"
Frog: *Big nod* (I was surprised his head didn't fall off.)
Me: "You should really go inside and cool off. A little frozen yogurt might be nice, too."
Frog: *Another nod. Then a shrug.*
Me: "I'm going to get myself some ."
Frog: *Thumbs up sign*
I went inside and got two cups of frozen yogurt - one for me and one for my daughter.
I came back out and resumed my conversation.
Me: "See, you're doing such a good job of advertising, that I got some. It's good!"
Frog: *Claps hands*
Me: "Do you want some?"
Frog: *Shakes head*
Me: "Okay. See ya. Have a nice day!"
Frog: *Waves bye*
Meanwhile, my daughter was trying to hide, because of course I was embarrassing her.
"Mom," she said when I was done. "Didn't your mom ever tell you not to talk to strangers?"
I nodded. "Yes. But she didn't say anything about frogs!"
strange frogs are fair game huh? Even better when they can't talk back lol
ReplyDeleteYeah. It would've been strange to hear a voice coming out of that costume!
DeleteVery true! Unless he was a strange frog. Wonder if he eventually passed out?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but he had to be roasting in that suit!
Delete*LOL* Frogs advertising yummy yogurt are okay to talk to for us big kids. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought! ;0)
DeleteYou remind me of a cousin who can strike up a conversation with anyone and sometimes even talks to objects just to make his grandchildren laugh.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started talking to rocks, yet, but I'm sure I'll get there. ;)
DeleteI've embarrassed my grandchildren many a time in the past by going down a child's slide in the park. I enjoyed reading about your conversation with the frog.......and why not?
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Exactly!
DeleteI would chat with a frog. I also disobey the don't-talk-to-strangers rule.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I thought you might be one to do that. ;)
DeleteI run with scissors, too. I play with sharp pencils, not heeding the rule "It's all fun and games until somebody's eye gets poked out." I poke out eyes willy-nilly.
DeleteFrogs totally don't count as strangers. Animal kindness and all that.
ReplyDeleteAt least he wasn't a toad!
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm not sure I would've stopped to talk to a warty creature. :0)
Deletesuch a polite frog it is! Miss Piggy might fall in love with him....
ReplyDeleteHaha! I would've died laughing if Miss Piggy had shown up!
DeleteMaybe it was Kermit!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe. I should've asked!
DeleteThe frog wasn't very sociable. I think Kermit would have had something to say. D
ReplyDeleteI don't think people in costumes are allowed to talk. He was pretty sociable for a non-talking creature!
DeleteDid you kiss him to check if he turned into a Prince?
ReplyDeleteHaha! No. My daughter would died if I had done that!
DeleteJust don't croak
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'll try not to!
DeleteYou had a wonderful chit chat with frog under roasting sun. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. Quite a memorable experience!
DeleteYou probably made their day!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I doubt many people stop to chat with a frog!
DeleteHa! Great post! I love your sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'm a real nut job!
DeleteAfter reading your post, I have a hankering for some frozen yogurt.
ReplyDelete: )
Better go find the frog!
DeleteGlad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent answer.
