Lauren is an animal lover and has always loved living creatures of all kinds. When she was four, she held a tarantula and a giant beetle, for goodness sake. So, it doesn't surprise me the other day when she captured a frog in the backyard and starting begging me to keep it as a pet.
Much to Jim's dismay, I was starting to give in. We made a little "habitat" for Mr. Frog out of a fish bowl and were planning to buy some crickets at the pet store this evening.
I had to run a few errands this afternoon and when I arrived home, Lauren dragged me to the backyard. "We lost him!" she exclaimed. Yes, while playing hide-and-seek with Mr. Frog, Lauren and the neighbor girl lost him.
Lauren is heartbroken. As her mom, I feel sad for her, but I must admit that I'm secretly happy I don't have to buy crickets tonight.
