Kermit the Frog

As many of you already know Caleb has a great love for animals. Unfortunately Caleb sometimes loves nature's animals a little too hard (think of Linny in the movie "Of Mice and Men"). This past weekend Caleb found (AKA captured) a frog while taking a walk with his granddaddy on their farm. Caleb put the frog in a jar with dead bugs, grass and water. Once again, Caleb told his Nana he wanted to "bring it home for mommy". Caleb's Nana convinced Caleb to let the frog go that evening (she told him the frog was probably missing his frog family). Reluctantly Caleb went outdoors to let it go. He soon came back in (holding the frog upside down by his legs) and told his Nana, "Nana I think the frog is dead...when I opened the jar he wasn't moving so I threw him down on the patio a few times and he still isn't moving". Now I don't know if that frog was dead before he opened the jar to free him but I do think that if it wasn't already dead that throwing him on his head several times onto the concrete patio probably didn't help his survival chances. Caleb's Nana told him to go ahead and release him and maybe he would come back to life. Caleb went back outside and returned a few minutes later stating, "Nana I have thrown him down several more times and he still isn't coming back to life". They ended up burying the poor frog that night.
