Grandson David occasionally texts me when he is on a break at work. We chat for a few minutes about something silly if there is no real news. I have the advantage of speed, since I can type on the computer or dictate to the phone. He has to touch his screen to reply. That’s why he often has one-word answers. This conversation started with fact, but it didn’t stay there.
I wrote, “I rescued a little tan frog from the waterfall pool today. He could not get out of the water, so I scooped him up in a bucket and let him out on dry land.”
David responded, “OK.”
“I think he tried to wink at me.”
“LOL.”
“Do you think I should have kissed him?”
“NO!”
The story ended before it became a fairy tale.

You can’t go round kissing random frogs Anne, what if it became a Prince which would be an anachronism in a country that doesn’t recognise titles. And then you started a trend for kissing frogs so there were more princes than kingdoms.You’d have to start an agency to marry the all off to princesses across the world.

Our country recognizes sports titles!
You are right about marrying off all the excess princes. What a headache! Thanks for bringing me back to my senses.

I’m wondering if the frog jumped back into the water. Here there is a water container that a cute little frog lives in. he sits on the side but jumps back into the water when I come around.

How smart are frogs? Mine would be wise to stay out of the deep water. I should go out and see if he is marooned there again.

So you didn’t kiss a frog. Smart woman, being a princess is a lot of work. Better to be a laidback commoner, imho. 😊

I appreciate our grandsons, because they both laugh at my silly comments. Not everyone can count on a receptive audience.

I’m sure, had you kissed him the following would have occurred. A great Steam Engine would approach, with a wonderful Pullman, with ornate Ironware on the overhang would swoop off the mountain. A recent birthday celebrant would have swooped you up and would say ” All aboard, NOW”.
