I don't like the Frog!


My wife and I had out first dance class yesterday. I bought ballroom dance classes for her birthday, and my father in law (FIL) and his fiancee volunteered to Olivia for us. We didn't get back to pick her up from their house until almost 10:30, which is WAY past her normal bed time. She was actually in a really good mood, running around and laughing, up until the moment we tried to take her away mixed nuts. Then her tiredness kicked in, and she was in a terrible mood. :(

There's a light in the driveway of my FIL's house, and there's usually a frog or two that hang out there at night and eat all the bugs that flock to the light. I went to go check real quick, and sure enough, there was a frog there! Thinking Olivia would like it, and it would maybe distract her and put her in a better mood, I called them all over. Olivia just stared at the frog, and reached out to touch it. Then he moved, and she FREAKED OUT! She started crying and saying 'I don't like the frog!'. She kept repeating it over and over again. We loaded her in the car and said out goodbyes. She finally seemed like she had calmed down and forget about it, until we started to back down the driveway. Then she started crying again and yelling 'I don't like the frog!' It was really funny, and we had to try really hard not to laugh until she finally fell asleep 5 minutes later.
