Poteet April 29, 2023 at 5:14 PM Frogs because (1998) I taught a Summer Bible School class for kids and the theme was FROG - Fully Rely on God. Got me started. When I taught school, kids were always giving me frogs memoribilia for Christmas, Teacher Day, etc. My own famiily has donated more than a few. Thanks for commenting.
