“Now where is that hen? I told her I could only egg sit for a little while, I have flies to catch!”
It’s a FRegg!
That’s good, Jeanne!
If I sit here long enough… I will grow up and be able to eat this bird egg…..
I hate these cuban tree frogs – they got into my wren nest and ate all the babies…. we had lots of them in central florida until we had a real hard freeze and now we don’t have them anymore….YEA!
I can’t believe I laid the whole thing!
‘finders keepers’
Just doin’ a lil babysitting.
I did this without and epidural!!
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…………………
I did this without an edpidural!
WOW! THIS IS THE WIERDEST LILY PADS I’VE EVER SEEN!!
Babysitting
did that just come out of me???
Is this what you call eggsistential?
I think that silly stork goofed but I did ask for a baby – right
Princess, princess, princess, princess….
hmmmm…feels good!
“It started out as just a little bump on my butt”
one day my prince will come??? yea, right!!
“Sittin’ on the dock at the bay….WHAT? This isn’t the bay????”
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Wow, How did I get here??
The Early Frog gets the Bird
Is it true I came from an egg?
“What a great foot warmer!”
(that’s what I thought LisaKost )”warms my heart”, now
I’m waiting for my egglicious meal.
I wonder if it’s gonna look like me.
I never thought I would be a egg sitter.
Found a fitness ball – time for my abdominal workout
It’s MINE all mine!!!!
Some of these babysitting jobs are tougher than others.
I like these bed and breakfast inns, but something seems wrong here?
“These excercise balls are harder than they look!”
Sometimes ‘it takes a village’!
Oooooh….That hurt ssoooo bad.
“What have I gotten myself into?”
My little frog, what a big egg you have.
This parental thing isn’t all what it’s cracked up to be…
Hoppy Easter!
OK DOVEY, COME ON OUT AND PLAY NOW….WAITING
Does this egg make me look fat?
Just thought I’d hop by and see how you were doing.
Hoppity hoppity hop….look what I got!
Oh my God!! Did I do that????
I need the babysitting money, I have 17 tadpoles.
Maybe if I croak loud enough, it will hatch into a frog!
)
uffda, that was painful, its going to be a big croaker
Finally…I’ve hated being an only child!
If I hatch it can I keep it? PPPPPLLLLEEEEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MOM!!!
“When frogs fly”
I’m desperate for someone to wish me Happy Mother’s Day!
Hurry up and come out of there so we can play.
Mother’s Helper!
…and lil’ ole me is supposed to sit on this thang ’til it hatches? I got betta thangs ta do!
Oops!
What? I was the only sitter available
This is my adopted egg and I’m so proud of it already.
Man how does that Easter Bunny do it!
Hey, are you my brother or my sister???
ooooooooh “croak” – I thought you said “crack”
The mystery of why frog legs taste like chicken has been solved!
I knew I shouldn’t have bone out with that bull frog!!
OUCH!!
Hmm when did she say she would be back????
guess I’m going to be here a while!
This isn’t really my egg, I’m just watching it for a friend
FROG ‘EGGS……. A DELICACY!!
Frggie: “You get the Taco Bell and I’ll watch the kid….”
Surrogate Mom!
And you thought your labor was hard@
How long is this supposed to take?
boy my brother is going to be really big……
See, now you know why we taste like chicken.
“I toad you…never leave your children unattended! Sigh. Too bad. Frog get it now.”
(I told you…never leave your children unattended! Sigh. Too bad. Forget it now.”)
Did that just come out of me?
If that bird don’t get back soon, I’m gonna croak!!!!!!!!!!!.
“I think I can. I think I can!”
If that bird doesn’t return soon, I’m gonna croak!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no comment
I think I am going to CROAK!
“We’re still naming him Tad!”
Toadally eggstaordinary!
“i thought I was having a little gas pain and then THIS! How am I going to explain this to my husband?”
“Leave it to Daffy to forget the condom!”
I thought it was just a little indigestion!!
“My bad.”
“I hope it has my eyes …”
I have to sit on it HOW LONG before it hatches?????
It’s no easy job egg sitting!
Eggactly WHAT am I supposed to be doing?
Just wait till I get out of here!!
Just pond-ering my egg- ercise !
I’m waiting…Geez!
Are you my Mother?
If I am going to be a handsome prince, maybe my buddy here will turn into a beautiful swan
It’s mine…mine, mine, mine, mine,mine
O.K. This rock should help. Ready set jump!
do you suppose the baby will resemble me or his father.
jeepers creepers! where’d i get this egg
I WILL LOVE IT AND HOLD IT AND CALL IT PEEPERS
i’ve heard of fish eggs, but frog egg…that’s a new one…
this isn’t eggactly what i thought babby sitting was all about
It takes a village to raise a child – err, I mean a hatchling!!.
This frog is faithful 100%!
I saw it done once in a movie!
“This just isn’t natural”
Is this my brother?
I told her I would do this…Wonder if she knows I am coldblooded???
“Yaaayy!! I get a sibling!”
Egg sitting. Good pay, too. Ten flies an hour. That poor mother must be despret, though, if she got me. cold blooded, see. not many customers.
“Wheeeeew!This egg was a little hard hatchin’!!
