Last night at youth night at church, the boys caught a toad & asked if he could come home with us. Being the great mom that I am (and being far too busy talking to realize that the toad was large enough to be a challenge for Pacman), I said, “Yes. Go right ahead!” After finally rounding up the boys & driving home, we all bounded upstairs to video the adventure. As Ryan opened the lid of the cup, the toad escaped onto the floor.

Please try not to notice that Ryan & Jared do not believe in picking up their laundry off the floor. We talk about it frequently & eventually (hopefully) it will get better. Maybe knowing that everyone is seeing their skivvies on the floor will be enough to inspire them to clean up.
The next video shows Pacman chomping on the toad. I quit videoing & lost my appetite for an entire day. (I didn’t say that I didn’t eat. I am just saying that anytime I thought of food, I thought of frog & toad...) It really is one of those things that I really wanted to see, but I didn’t really want to see what I thought I wanted to see. (That’s a quote from Kay Montgomery – it applies to car accidents as well as animal encounters.) Pacman is buried in the moss just behind the toad’s left rear leg.

Wow, oh, wow!! I think I'll have nightmares. :) Jenna--you are a brave mom. I woulda been out of there.
OH MY GOSH! That was cool--but I loved listening to the boys--that was better!
When I was in 10th grade biology, I dissected a frog. In the belly was a much smaller frog. At first, my lab partner and I thought the frog had been pregnant and felt super bad . . .but then remembered that frogs don't have babies that way. Our frog had eaten another just before it was captured for my education. (:
Funny. Funny. Funny. Love the title.
Ew.
