BoRock-Ok, so this lady came in and wanted 15 copies of our book all signed by the author. Great! Then, she explained that they were going to be presents for all of her extended family members who enjoy frog hunting on their farm. I wasn't worried yet. Lots of people like to catch frogs to keep as pets.
Ebenezer - Then our author/friend asked her if they also catch bugs to feed their frogs. She paused for a minute and looked confused. Then she said, "No we eat the frogs." Agh! We didn't know until that minute that people ate frogs. It suddenly made me rething everything I know about people.
BoRock-You see normally, if something is larger than we are we we assume they want to eat us. That's just because we eat anything smaller than us. But in the past couple of years we have met so many really nice people who would never eat us, that we got the mistaken impression that frogs were off the menu. Now we know differently.
Ebenezer - I can't believe our author sold her the books and autographed them for her. I would have thrown her out the door! Kind of makes me worry about our author. Does she really stand for what she tells us she stands for or is she just out to make money?
Author's Note - Dear BoRock and Ebenezer, I love butterflies too, but I don't hold it against you for eating them. You really need to learn to be more tolerant and forgiving since your diet is not altogether without fault.
