Stop and Smell the Bullfrog
Harris: (excited) Aunt BOO, there is a BIG FROG OUTSIDE!
Me: (half paying attention) Um Hmmm.
Harris: (still excited) Come see, there is a big frog – LOOK!
Me: (busy sketching and still paying half attention) Really? That’s nice, Harris.
Harris: (more adamant) NO, come look!
Me: (busy and trying to give him the brush off) No, honey, Aunt Boo is busy.
Harris: (insistent) No, YOU gotta see this FROG.
Me: (starting to have remorse for not stopping to smell the roses) oh, ok…..

Jeremiah, the bullfrog

Harris was right – this frog was HUGE! The size of a softball.

I’m glad I stopped and shared a silly moment with Harris. He really got a kick out of it when I thought the creature ‘picture worthy’.
