Live Frog

"Paying"

My youngest daughter, Carrie (who is now
9 years old). Was either 4 or 5 years old
at the time, had gotten into some mischief.
I don't even remember what she had done,
but you know how parents 'give the talk'.

Well I was reading her the riot act and I said,
"Carrie!, you are going to have to start paying
attention!"
 
She looked up at me with tears welling up
in her little blue eyes and her bottom lip
quivering and said, "But mom, I don't
have any money."

"Live Frog"
 
It was the early morning -- about time for
breakfast.
 
All at once, the young girl came racing
down the stairs, screaming at the top of
her lungs, "Mom, there is a LIVE FROG
in my bed!"
 
Her brother -- even the practical joker that
he is -- couldn't resist laughing out loud.
 
When the mother came down from removing
the frog, she said to her son, "YOU put the
live frog in your sister's bed... didn't you?"
 
"Yeah," he admitted.
 
"WHY did you put a live frog in your sister's
bed?"
 
He replied, "Because I couldn't find a
DEAD one!!"
