Frogzilla

The other day we were at the vegetable stand, which is an outdoors under an awning in front of a storage area. The vendor sits on a concrete platform in back of the vegetables, and the vegetables themsleves are in baskets on tiers of tables/shelves. Near the back was some spinach we wanted, and Dolly reached forward to examine which bunches were freshest, and she put her hand next to one of the other baskets to support her as she leaned in.

After a moment, she jumped back with a scream. Then she stopped, composed herself, thought of what just happened and screamed again. "A lizard licked me!" It was evening time near dinner, and so there were many people. They looked over, expecting to so a giant snake or lizard, but all that was there was a cute, tiny frog, whose wet skin must brushed against her hand.

Dolly was so embarassed that she went and hid a few stores down while I finished vegetable shopping.
