KISS THE FROG

I always loved ducks and frogs.

And some one will say to me. “OK. I understand why you love ducks. They are adorable, cute, clean... But frogs?”

I don’t know. I love them.

When Mr. Winter gave me as a gift Kaza (the picture of a frog)… OK, OK. He didn’t exactly give him to me. I steal it. I download it from his FaceBook albums. And now he cannot take it back.

When Mr. Winter “gave” me Kaza I asked myself why I love frogs.

Everyone knows the fairy tail with the “Princess and the frog”. For everyone the frog was the hateful creature.

First of all I felt admiration for the princess. Brave girl, she had the courage to do what any other human being didn’t do it. She did the impossible, the despicable!   

And finally, she gets her reward.

After this, frogs are very ugly animal. They don’t have the beauty of a gazelle, the power of a puma, the height of a giraffe, the delicacy of a flamingo.

It is an ugly, fat, small, disgusting thing and in additional it eats flies. OH, COME ON. EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE LOVED.

So, gradually, I started love frogs.

Add to this that when I was a child I was hated the green color (and the yellow too), but now the bright green and orange make my day.

And this crazy company of frogs that never sleep and have a party every night, it is something very good for me. A frog party animal. A frog bon viveur.

For my childish eyes, kissing the frog has always a reward, a good one.

For my girlish eyes, “yes he becomes a prince” and all the girls wait for a prince (admit it or no).

For my womanish eyes I have always the hope that one of the frogs I kiss will not stay frog (every woman has this traumatic experience. They kiss the fro with the hope to become a prince, or at least a groom, but he remains a frog).

One way or another, kissing the frog has a risk. You take it.

You have a benefit of no because of this kiss.

If you don’t take another kind of benefit, at least keep the experience (this is something like consolation).

For my tired womanish mouth, I hope that the next frog I shall kiss he will be a Prince (or at least someone of his office).
