How to Clean a Frog

Tanner caught a toad today; he put it in a five gallon bucket and added some water. He and his brothers handled that toad until it was nearly worn slick. During the day, he was caught heading outside with his toothbrush.

"Tanner, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to clean my frog."

With his toothbrush… only a boy would think of this. We finally made them set the toad free when I spotted it in Elijah's hand upside down, still, and barely breathing. The poor thing probably crawled away to die peacefully.
