Tadpole had a very, very tough day yesterday -- but then, when you've fallen from the swing and then from the slide within 20 minutes, isn't there an unspoken rule that stipulates that going over to the improvised baseball field where your klutzy sister is playing with her clumsy-yet-powerful friend is not a good idea?
*looks at Tadpole's forehead* ahahahaha too late.
Tadpole was not the only casualty: one of the bases, i.e. a smallish plastic frisbee, collapsed noisily under a dad's weight during the game.
And then Froglet and her friend decided that they were Queen and King, and I have to say the parents had no objections, until we came to the end of the day:
Friend: Next time, we'll play King and Queen again!
Froglet: yeah!
Friend: I'll be the King, you'll be the Queen, and WE'LL HAVE KIDS!!!
Parents *turn on their heels and contemplate their respective offsprings with horrified eyes*
Friend: What?
Froglet *rolls eyes* we're just PRETENDING.
Sorry, sweetpea. You just took us by surprise, there, is all.
In other news, Tapole's Mother's Day Present needs a new home. Cos the playschool had no money to invest this year, so they bought teeny weeny flower pots and they planted GIANT SUNFLOWERS in them. *headthunk.
The thing is growing like mad, and I guess we should re-plant before it gets too big.
Although planting anything over here is a bit pointless, since the squirrels eat all the flowers. Even the neighbours, with their TWO HUGE DOGS, aren't protected (not that they let them out often, cos Sam, the golden retriever puppy, pees exclusively onto their brand-new magnolia tree).
