If you see it out there, now you know why.

 

Then there was the time we found a frog in the coffee pot water.  Lucky for the frog we noticed him before we started making coffee.  The odd thing was that nobody ever questioned how he had gotten in there.  Everyone seemed focused on the day’s schedule and simply suggested someone remove the frog and push the coffee button.

I eventually lost track of the frog and like everyone else just got on with my day.  That is until we were all sitting around watching some made-for-television movie and when a commercial came on, Lucy hit the mute button.  It was then, in the sudden quiet, we heard a croak coming from the kitchen.  We all looked at each other, and Derek said, “Did everyone else hear that?”

Of course, we all did.  After a lengthy search we found the frog once again.  This time he was sitting in the bagel side of the toaster.  Pam wanted to pull out the crumb tray and just let him drop to the counter where we could catch him, but this time I said, “Shouldn’t we figure out how he has gotten into these various places?  First it was the coffee pot and now it’s the toaster.”

But Ted, who had not followed us all into the kitchen said, “The commercial is over.  The movie is starting.”

Three people headed back to watch the movie, while myself and Larry stayed in the kitchen to deal with the frog.

“Just pick up the whole toaster and we’ll carry it outside and let the frog go in the yard.  He can eat the bugs and croak all he wants too.”

So that’s what we did, but even with the toaster laying on its side, the frog wouldn’t come out.  He just sat in there and blinked at us.   After a few minutes we gave up.  We left the toaster out on the lawn and went back inside to watch the movie.

It has been eleven weeks now and the toaster and frog are still out on the lawn.  Apparently, it’s the frog’s Westinghouse.

 

 

 

You're right,

not my finest hour.

I may come back to this

 and give it a proper ending.
