Mr and Mrs. Froggie

"Dear," Mr Froggie said. "I have become quite fond of the way our pond has become."

"I think," Mrs. Froggie said. "I have become quite fond of our neighbors pond. I feel we should fix some of the lily pads to be more gradient. I would like there to be some purple flowers and some orange flowers."

"Dear," Mr Froggie announced. "I am quite fond of the way our flowers are all similar colors. I like the pink and the blue, and the way our flowers blow in the wind. I can bet you their flowers don't do the same!"

"They’re flowers Froggie Jr.! They’re all the same!" Said Mrs. Froggie astoundingly.

"Frogget there not the same! They have a beautiful tint to them, and when it rains the water slides off like a rainbow!"

"Froggie Jr., we have been married for two years! That's almost a lifetime, and we have never had such a terrible argument!"

"Well, maybe that's it! I heard about the neighbors fighting about flies, and how they got a divorce because of that! I don't want to do that, but If I want purple and orange flowers than that's what I want!"

"Oh, you said purple flowers. Oh........... I thought you said plum! I very much dislike the color plum! You can have purple flowers!"

"What about orange flowers?"

"Well, No."

"Then we’re done for! I want orange flowers too!"

"Ok, fine then, orange flowers it is!"
And they lived happily ever after with the most beautiful pond in the Vermont!

    zaigner,
    Very rarely do I see any humor on this sight, and I very much enjoyed reading your piece. I like how you set up the argument between Mr. and Mrs. Froggie via dialogue. Good thing they didn't get a divorce! :) Thanks for sharing.
