R – If I kiss him he turns into a prince, right?
Me – That’s a she, and I don’t think toads DO princesses.
J – Yuck.
Me – Well, seeing that she hoppened to hop by into the kitchen, how about all smiling for the camera? Is that a smile, Mrs Toad?

I wouldn’t want to try it!
Yes, but most disappointing for little boys who try and scare them with one!

Awwww, they are totally adorable Col and that conversation they had made me laugh. Love those smiles and it’s lovely to see little girls not scared of frogs. 😀

They have been brought up to know what insects and animals it is safe to interact with – I hope!

Weren’t we told, as kids, never to pick up a frog or toad as they would give us warts?
Love the way the kids pose for you on demand 😉

That was because their poison sacs are in wart-like knobs, but it is a fallacy of course. They do have an irritant toxin as protection against being lunch.
The kids have done some modelling!

Your grandchildren I assume? They are so adorable. The toad? Not too much.

They are indeed. The toad was very friendly, actually.

She is very courageous to pick it up. I know I would never have at that age (though I had not been exposed to many frogs!)

Yuck! (not the beautiful children of course) – do your toads have a poisonous sac on their backs like ours?
LikeLike
Only mildly. It is as well to wash hands after handling them BEFORE touching sensitive parts, and kissing is not a good option.

there won’t be any toad kissing in these here woods 😉 ours are very toxic – the poison will kill a dog if they try to grab one

Mrs Toad was certainly quite relaxed about being fussed over by two little girls.
