Frog in the Toilet

[Martin Hash]

My wife, Gwynne, and I drove down to visit her nonagenarian uncle at his house on 40 acres in the Sacramento valley foothills where it was mid-summer hot and everything was dry & bleached out. After a sweltering first night there, I got a surprise during my morning constitution: there was a live frog in the toilet that jumped out onto the seat when I flushed.

I smiled, thinking Froggy was a sneaky little guy. My first thought was to take him outside but where would I put him? California’s in a drought; there’s no ponds or even wet spots; letting him go in the wilderness would essentially be a death sentence: swimming in my toilet just doesn’t rise to that level… So I left him there. I thought of warning Gwynne but worried she’d put him outside so I just left Froggy where he was as a surprise for her.

Welllllll ..... The frog's in the toilet and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, Dad
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
