For those who asked.....
Warning: Never give vague instructions to a child. They take you literally. Honestly, they really do.
I didn't use the story of the frog in the prompt, because I actually think I was older than 3. I could be wrong, maybe a 3 year old can catch a frog. Okay, probably could catch a frog. OKAY... can catch a frog.
But a three year old usually doesn't have the whereforall to ask what you do with a frog that you catch. Again I could be wrong (and I am sure my mother will correct me if I am).
Back to the story. I caught a frog. Couldn't have been a very big one, but I was proud of this frog and asked my folks what to do with it. They told me that frogs like water.
Naturally to a young child any liquid can pass for water, right? RIGHT????? Well, no but the only "water" I could find was my grandmother's ice coffee. PLOP, in goes the frog. Looking back I shutter to think what must have been going through that poor frog's mind. Caffiene rush....
And fortunately for the frog, my grandmother decided she needed a drink soon after instead of 10 or 15 minutes later. Then the result would have probably been a dead frog at the bottom of her coffee cup instead of a frog jumping out of the coffee at her.
Well, maybe I was three after all....

LOL With the caffeine inherent in iced coffee and a scare like that, I might have had a heart attack !
Lucky your Grandma decided to sip her iced coffee. Although the frog jumping out of her cup probably scared the you know what out of her.
LMAO! I still love this story.
Cute story - guess gram got a new cup of coffee after that!
So... what happened to the frog? :-)
