Just the very thought of it has me quivering in my green slimy skin.

My youngest son and daughter-in-law had just flown in from Seattle for an all too short visit. We decided to go out to dinner because neither household owned a table to hold thirteen for dinner.

The restaurant, one of those built before the transition of a from sleepy seaside village to thriving metropolis. In the bar there is an aging DJ plays tunes from 60’s & 70’s Thurs. thru Sun. nights. They have a rather extensive menu and a reputation for good food.

We are all chatting amiably,. The waitress takes our drink order and hands out the menus. Then it happened. Right there for God and everybody to see…..third item down in appetizers sandwiched between conch chowder and gator tail nuggets……FROG LEGS

My heart sank, tears welled in my sees and I was rapidly sinking into that “fight or flight” mode. Was my secret identity going to be revealed? Would my entire extended family soon know I was “froggy”, the bathrobe, curlers in hair froggy on PC.

Then to add insult to injury, my daughter in law says to the waitress “I’ll have an order of frog legs, grilled please with sauce on the side.” In that instance I thought I was going to faint. I quickly excused myself to go throw cold water on my face.

By the time I returned to the table, conversation had degraded to…..
“I use to cry when Mom fixed them because I thought we were eating Kirmet.”
“Do you prefer them fried or grilled”
“I use to hate cooking them, you know the legs jump in the pan when you fry them.”

That was it, the final straw, I jumped up, threw my napkin on the table and without thinking yelled….He**, you would jump too if your legs had been severed from your body and thrown in a hot skillet!”

There was dead silence. Reality returned with a jolt and I meekly returned to my seat.

I will not eat at a restaurant that has leg of lamb, roast of lamb.
I have tons of sheep items in my store now. And frog, and humming birds and petunias, funny how this all becomes a part of us.........
My son when he was young Loved Lobsters, we ate at red lobster once. Big mistake. Every table that had a lobster dinner, He yelled at them. We had to leave when he decided to stand next to the tank to protect them. His i con in life at that point was a lobster.

Honesty is the best policy! One would jump if their legs were severed from their body and thrown in a hot pan!

I was having that conversation with my 3 year old granddaughter today also. She and 2 year old grandson were taking the legs off Barbie Dolls! They had 10+ dolls and at one point, my grandson was counting legs (had them all arranged hip-to-hip and toe-to-toe too) and had eight! I told my granddaughter they should put them back on and she more or less told me to mind my own business, they were their toys and they could do what they wanted! So, I started in with how would she like it if I took off her legs? She maintained they couldn't be taken off because "they're connected". Just a little circular argument there, a bit hard to counter.

The doc I work for collects froggies. He has them all over his office. Big ones, small ones, any kind of frog you can imagine. Its so fun to go in there and discovery a frog I didn't notice before. I wonder if I could sneak a pic with my cell cam......

aw, sorry froggy.

I'd like to know why people eat this stuff if it tastes like chicken (frogs legs, turtle, etc.) Why not just each chicken? Seems like a whole lot of work for a little amount of food. You're legs are safe in my house froggy. My daughter won't even in chicken legs, has a mental thing "they used to walk on those".
