We should have never read “The Frog and The Princess” to Melanie.
Every night, she wants us to read her that story.
And now, her room has frog pillows, lilypad rugs on the blue carpet, and a frog night light.
She even made me put up frog wallpaper.
One night, Melanie snuck out to the swamp, looking for frogs.
I don’t know if she was trying to kiss them or put them in a bowl to keep as pets.
The sheriff found her, and it took her a while to shake off that pneumonia.
And longer for her frog obsession.
