A Frog! A Frog!

Some of the worst words I've ever heard... "I found a frog in the classroom!" "A What? Oh my gosh... okay, take it outside and let it go!" So I sent the "bug-lover" child with the frog (MISTAKE), and she came back a few minutes later with the frog, and she said, "I want to just keep it!" I told her that was NOT an option, and she needed to take it back outside and leave it there! That process took about 5 more minutes, and then they finally returned. Now, we don't have frogs at our school, not that I have ever seen, so then you must be wondering how a frog got into my classroom. I had my suspicion right away as to who it might be. But, I didn't question until she came running up (right after I sent them out with the frog), and she begged (jumping up and down... the works) to use the restroom. I wouldn't let her go, and she went back to her seat and was fine. Then, at recess, she admitted to bringing the frog to school... Wow... all in a day's work!
