Lightsabers and Lollipops

so a weird thing happened while i was cleaning a pool.

from time to time, frogs think that a pool is a happy pond that they can swim in and live forever. unfortunately, the poor froggies have no exit strategy. they usually get stuck until they are rescued or die. ( and frogs really stink when they "pass on" by the way.)

now most of the time, when they see me one one end of the pool, they jet off to the other end as fast as they can. even if i am trying to save them or at the very least flip them over the fence and see if they can fly. ...they can fly. um, for a while.

but, short story long. they are usually hard little buggers to catch.

so back to that funny thing.

there was a frog.
a frog in a pool.
kept swimming away from me while i was cleaning the pool.
but then.
i finish cleaning.
i add the chemicals.
i brush up the chemicals.
as i'm brushing, the frog actually swims up to me and even follows me around.
so i held my brush up to him.
he actually climbed on as if to say, "i'm sorry. we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot back there. but i see that you have added the white powder of death. i would very much like to get out immediately. thank you."

i lifted him out of the pool and gently placed him on the ground by the fence. i swear he looked back at me before he hopped off.
it was a very surreal moment.

i'm glad i'm gettin some time off soon.

i need a break.
