43 have read it, and there are several comments, and thank-yous!!
Ask me where I'd rather post something?
Where it's going to be READ and ENJOYED...

Let's Be GREEN ~ Spending the Summer.. with Frogs
I was going through some old notebooks
last week, and found a little notebook
in the shape of a FROG, with green frog face
shaped pages. On those pages, were these
fascinating tidbits, about FROGS.
I used to use these for events at the library
during the Summer months.
(and no, I did not dress up as a giant frog;
although... that's an idea! LOL )
Posted here.. for you to enjoy.
Share them with the children
(of all ages) in your life!

What do you call a frog that crosses

the road again?
A dirty double crosser.
What's green green green green green?
A frog rolling down the hill.
What is a frogs favorite time?
Leap year!
Why did the frog go to the Mall?
Because he wanted to go hopping.
How can you tell if a frog doesn't have ears?
You yell "free flies" and he doesn't come.
What did the frog say to the fly?
You are really starting to bug me!
What does a frog say when it
sees something great?
Toadally awesome!
What do old-fashioned frogs wear?
Jumpsuits
Top 4 Reasons Why it's Great to be a Frog
1) Girls are always kissing you because
they think you'll turn into a prince
2) Flies in your soup are a bonus
3) Green goes with absolutely everything
4) Pond Scum is a term of endearment
What's green with red spots?

What's green with bumps
A frog with the measles
What's black and white and green?

How come the frog didn't get to
be the Easter Bunny?
Slippery hands.
They were afraid he'd drop the eggs.
LOL
A Few Facts about Frogs (for real)
Funniest name of a Frog:
Bumpy Rocketfrog (Australia)
Name I like the best:
Waxy Monkey Tree Frog
Large frogs have DEEP voices,
meaning they call at a low fregquency.
Some frogs sing in high chirps, meaning
they're calling at a high frequency.
Cold frogs repeat their calls at a
slower rate because the muscles
controling the sounds slow down.
Why do frogs sing?
1) They're trying to attract a mate:
"HEY! Baby!"
2) They're marking their territory
"This is MY lilypad!"
3) They are frightened:
"Eek!"
4) They know the weather is going to
change: "RAIN!!"
(gee, maybe we should listen to frogs
to get the weather for the next day,
instead of the weather forecasters on TV...
..... LOL)
Sure hope you have enjoyed this little
"frog session", compliments of
*Smiley the Happy Face Clown*.
It's not a PARTY... unless... we EAT.
LOL
What did the frog order at MacDonald's?
French flies and a diet Croak
I suggest, instead of a "froggie feast" of french flies
& a diet Croak..... that you make chocolate
covered ants, er, pretzels, for a snack.
The kids love them!!
For a "quickie" version.. melt chocolate chips
over a campfire in a double boiler, then pour
the chocolate over heaps of pretzels
(sticks are easier to hold on to to eat)
placed on wax paper. Let cool.
The kids will eat them by the handfuls.
It might be a good idea to have glasses
of lemonade handy, as well.
Enjoy your frog-filled Summer!!
LOL
