Very creative, Viv! Your mind is always a step ahead:) Candy apart....once we used to buy small metal frogs which had some kind of spring underneath them that helped them jump after a few seconds of being placed firmly on the ground. Regards // paul

Yes Paul, I remember those, they had a suction cup to provide that delay. Simple pleasures, eh? Thanks for dropping by. Regards, Viv

Love this "anti-nature" take, Viv. We've got to stick up for sticky, sweaty candy frogs. I imagine they're an endangered species by now...LOL! Great write! Best wishes, Gershon

Judging by the local sweet shop near the school, virtually extinct, Gershon. Thanks for dropping by. Regards, Viv
