That Thing That Jumps!

Yesterday morning, I put the kettle on to boil so that we could have our morning cup of tea, my normal morning ritual, while Farm Stud was about to have his shower.  I heard him speaking to someone so I walked to find him, round corners and through doors in this old house.  I asked him who he was talking to. 

Tractor-chick:  Were you asking me something?  I heard you saying something.
Farm Stud:  No I was talking to the frog.
Tractor-chick:  Frog?  What frog?

I, then, noticed that both his hands were cupped in front of him.

Farm Stud:  The one in my hands.  I was trying to pick up the last bits of soap to bin when something started moving.  I looked again and it was a frog.

Tractor-chick:  Thank goodness it was you who decided to have your shower first!

Farm Stud:  Let me release him in the garden and we can have our cup of tea.

After our tea and his shower, it was my turn to brush my teeth.  As usual, I would remove my glasses before I get to the sink so that I can brush the teeth, wash the face and put on my contact lenses.

I get my toothbrush, turn on the tap and out of the sink hole something really dark, almost black emerges and starts doing little jumps.  

Tractor-chick:  (screaming) Baaaaaabe there's something in the sink.

Farm Stud:  (yelling back, a little annoyed) What is it?

Tractor-chick:  I don't know!  I can't see!  I'm not wearing my glasses.  It came out of the sink hole!!!  Hurry, I left the tap running too!!!

Meanwhile, I was running away and towards the bedroom.

Farm Stud:  Oh it's just a little frog.  It won't eat much and it won't hurt ya.  Come little fella, let me get you out of here.

Fiesty frog decided that it wanted to find it's own way out so it jumped right out of Farm Stud's hands towards the bedroom.

Tractor-chick:  (screaming and screaming with toothbrush in hand and jumped on the bed with legs and feet off the floor) It's coming this way!  Hurry up!  Catch it!  Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh.

Farm Stud:  (laughting)  It won't hurt ya.

Well, thank goodness he managed to catch it and got it outside.

Ever since then, I approach the sink with caution and I keep my glasses on until the last moment when I need to get my contact lenses in.

Let me tell you, there's never a dull moment in this place!  :)
