Froggy is in Danger

Hey, Stuffie Friends! It’s Froggy here, thankful to still be able to report to all you Stuffie lovers out there! You see, I was excited to return to Family Camp at Kingsley Pines in Maine. That is, until I saw the schedule for one day. Not one but TWO groups had “Frog Catching” on their schedule!!! What is that about, anyway? Frogs are not meant to be caught! They are meant to be free to jump off bridges and climb trees and have all sorts of wonderful adventures.

It is clear we needed to find a protector. Baby Ellie could be very useful. She’s very personable and is a great distraction. These grown humans can’t walk past her without stopping. Perfect. Create a diversion? Check.

And then we just needed to find a “tough” to intimidate the program directors and get them to change the activity. This guy seemed pretty intimidating, but he was also immovable. So, probably not much use in protecting all us little frogs out there.

We headed to the library to do some research. There must be some ideas in all these books that will help us out.

We found inspiration from this flag from South Africa. That’s a country that knows how to reinvent itself and embrace freedom from oppression. All we need to do is to organize a nation-wide protest to support Frogs all over the country.

We need to be strong and stand up for our rights. No one will notice a few Stuffies protesting a good cause. Maybe they’ll listen if we hit tennis balls at them. If they get clocked in the head by a ball or two, it will definitely get their attention. Then I can explain why “Frog Catching” is a terrible idea and should be canceled immediately.

The flaw in the tennis racquet plan is that humans are larger than we are. Which means they might just scoop them right out of our grasp. We needed something better. Bigger. Maybe a trebuchet or a catapult?

Then again, sometimes the simplest solution is the best. If they don’t have any nets, they can’t catch any frogs. Genius!

We’re off to find a good hiding place for these nets. Catch you later.

Oops, I mean we’ll talk to you later.
