The Wonders of Nature: A Lesson in Humiliation...and Frog Pee

Our apartment complex is surrounded by woods so we always have a wide variety of different creatures wandering around our patio. We've seen 'possums, raccoons, skunks, and squirrels, all sniffing around hoping to find something interesting...or edible. Well, last night as I passed the sliding-glass door I caught a glimpse of something I hadn't seen on our patio before; a huge, and I mean huge, frog. Nothing spectacular but I knew Ryan would get a kick out of it. So I called Ryan to "come look at this" and ran outside to attempt a brief & harmless capture of the frog who would be the main character in my spur-of-the-moment nature lesson. Ryan chose to remain inside stating that "frogs give you huge warts". He watched from behind the glass. I picked up the frog gently and held it up to the glass so Ryan could get a good look. I had just begun to tell him "look, he wont hurt you" when the little bastard decided to spray me with his frog urine. This wasn't just a trickle of pee-pee either. This was like the wrath of god shooting out of his ass. Needless to say, and I regret this now, I jumped and tossed the poor frog about three feet. I was soaked from breast to crotch in frog piss. When I returned inside I was greeted by the insane laughter of both Ryan and Brandon. I said, "He pissed on me" to which Ryan replied, "He was just scared." Of course he was scared. Either that or he was seeking revenge for his four relatives whose post-mortem mutilations I took part in.

The experience obviously did not go as planned.

Thank-you Cindy,
It is amazing when they find their voices, you're right about that. There is very little they do that is not amazing!
Thanks for the well wishes.

Haha! Well, at least the experience made a great story. :)

Reminds me of the time when my family was taking Christmas photos. My sister held our dog while I had to hold the chinchilla. The thing peed all over my white shirt and I smelled disgusting!

There should be more blogs like yours around, because really, getting peed on by a frog is something we can all relate to...
