Happy Green Frog

Happy Green Frog, originally uploaded by Bearded Jon.

I think I could be a happy green frog. Happy Green Frog has been in our house for a few years now. I'm not sure where he came from, or how, or why, but he's here and he's been around. Whether its kids throwing him or dogs chewing on him Happy is always, well, happy.

I think I could learn a lot from Happy Green Frog. He doesn't seem to get too upset when he's held underwater in the bathtub, squeezed (to make bubbles) and released (to suck water up his butt to be squirted back out). From this I could learn patience. He doesn't seem to mind being chewed on by Mimi the Merciless (although his paint is starting to wear). From this i could learn to take an ass chewing (hopefully not so literally). Most of the time he just sits and watches with that grin on your face.

Oh little green budha of suburbia how I admire your resolve.

My new mantra: "I am one with the Happy Green Frog."
