Frog Eyes

enable images

 Closing your eyes when swallowing does not mean you are a frog, but keeping your eyes open when swallowing means you are not a frog! Do you know why frogs close their eyes when swallowing? Their eyeballs help push their food down their throat! Ew.

I kind of want to draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the logic here, but basically all frogs close their eyes when swallowing (draw a small circle labeled 'frogs') and many non-frog things close their eyes when swallowing (draw a large circle around the small circle and label it 'things that close their eyes when swallowing').

A: Frogs can't swallow with their eyes open.
B: So if you close your eyes when swallowing, you might be a frog!
A: ...technically, yes.

Frog Protection

Enable images!

 I mean, they would probably keep away the frogs. But I think I would prefer frogs over snakes. Also, drawing that carrier was kinda difficult but I really like how it turned out. Even if that totally would not work to contain snakes since they would just glide through the squares. Let's pretend there's another, finer grid that you can't see. There was a credit card commercial that had a similar miscommunication about Frog vs. Fraud, but I don't remember the company or the commercial specifics. Side Note: snakes in your house is. not. cool.

A: I asked you to protect my credit card purchases - why are you delivering snakes to my house?!?!
B: Oh, I thought you needed FROG protection.

Toad Stools


 I thought this up when we were looking for stools for our new kitchen - we have a center island which has an overhang on one side that works perfectly for a breakfast nook. We did not find any toad stools but we did get some nice cherry ones from Wayfair that match our kitchen cabinets. We looked at Ikea but the one we wanted was out of stock (actually they had one but we wanted at least two and if you want them to match, you gotta buy them together).
And yes, I know what a toadstool is. Well actually I thought I did - I thought it was a red mushroom with white dots BUT it turns out all mushrooms are technically toadstools. And they got their name because mushrooms seem like a great place for a toad to take a seat. The more you know...

E: Hello, Chair Emporium, we have the seats.
P: Do you have any frog-shaped, backless -
E: FOR THE LAST TIME we do NOT sell toadstools!
