Nailing Frogs- A Story about Grapes

Grapes are on sale this week...which reminds me of a joke.

A joke I used to repeat to my boys as often as a toddler throws a rattle from the stroller.

(Yes, I AM amazingly patient)

It goes like this:

A frog hops into the grocery store and hops on the counter and asks, "Got any grapes?"

The store owner shakes his head and answers, "Nope. Not till Friday."

The frog hops down and leaves. 

The next day the frog returns, hops up on the counter, and asks, "Got any grapes?"

The store owner frowns. "It's only Tuesday frog. I told you not until Friday."

Frog hops down and leaves.

Nest day, the frog returns, hops up on the counter and asks, "Got any grapes?"

The owner growls and says, "Look frog, I said NOT UNTIL FRIDAY. Come in here again and I will nail your little frog feet to the counter!"

The frog hops down and leaves. 

Next day, the frog comes back, hops up on the counter and asks, "Got any nails?"

The store owner loses it and yells, "Look frog! I don't know what your problem is, but this isn't a hardware store it's a grocery store! NO, we don't have nails!"

Frog smiles and asks, "Good then, got any grapes?"

Is there a moral? A lesson? 

I don't know, you tell me. I've been to the grocery four times since Monday...and not once did I remember to get dog food. I love those kind of weeks. 

Have a great weekend! Hope it's relaxing :)
