So I bring home some stuff that I’ve designed from work – brochures, etc – so I can show the kids what Daddy’s doing all day long, and one of the things is a wallet-card, sort of an informational card that we give to our customers – looks like a credit card.

Well, Griffin thinks this is kind of cool and asks if he can keep it, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

The next day, I come home and Griffin and the neighbor boys, Ford and Sully, are really interested in something in the yard. In fact, Griffin comes running over to me and says, “Daddy – you have to come see the frog skull!”

I walk on over to check it out, and it’s not a frog skull at all. It’s actually the rotting, maggot-infested carcass of a dead frog. Also, Sully is standing there holding the card that Griffin was so interested in the day before. Evidently, Griffin traded it to Sully for the frog skull.
