How I found out I’m not shaking my shoes out hard enough every morning
A heart-shaped frog procrastinated loudly when I jammed my foot in. Then, when I tried to pry him loose from the cavernous regions of the toe compartment, he secreted something slimy all over my fingertips. Maybe I shouldn’t leave my shoes outside anymore… Nature always wins in the end.

First Glimpses of Posterity
Here is little Fetus swimming about like a tadpole at six weeks: And here’s another shot, as well as a closeup at 8 weeks: The doctor couldn’t get the right angle for the latter shots and at first thought Fetus was actually a pair… TWINS!!!
