    Post Time for a real heated discussion.

    I was trying to be respectful of their privacy, but on two separate occasions I caught them doing stuff.
    I tried to educate them of the dangers of sex, by reenacting some of my favorite health class video's with frog puppets.
    I managed to scare them away from it after drawing crude images of painful complications, and it worked until recently, you see, I sculpted an interesting landscape the other day to keep them entertained, and I think it must have sparked the mood for this one guy cause I caught this frilled up ally toad flopped right on top of my prized baby squirp this morning. WHO let me remind you, is being rehabilitated from crippling mobility after surviving starvation. I mean, honestly this has to be against the law, she's disabled, and underage. I've about had enough of this kinda stuff. Sure I turned a blind eye to the cannibal cricket matches, and illegal gambling on the centipede races, and even that disturbing thing that happened to Nina in the fourth breath of fire, BUT the rape of a world renown icon, Squirp, is just not good publicity for the species as a whole. I tell you what, I sat down for about 8 hours today, writing up my own rendition of stories of consequence loosely based on reality for those toads, and then I'm going to teach them about a form of treatment they will receive if they live a life making bad choices. This may include punishments more severe then being grounded. I'm talking manual labor, hard time with rude guards and ruder inmates, much bigger versions of those bugs they've been snacking on. but if this is more of a medical/mental rehabilitation I'll offer the best psychiatric care I can provide, it's going to cost a lot more tax dollars to hire a staff to manage a healthcare system that has the ambition to make people healthy and doesn't have the ambition to make a profit. you guys see this problem I'm dealing with? I like these toads and everything, but if they can't get along, I'm going to have to relocate them, but that doesn't solve the problem, just another opportunity to make more scars that never heal. when will the suffering end? when will toad society surpass our civilization and its discontent?

    Sorry to say this but its instincts. Hard wired insticts. That huge rant won't change anything Lol!. Good luck with the grounding and punishments though.

    Squirp,
    You are very clever ! BUT, I really don't think any of your ideas are going to work. I think you could threaten even worse, harsh, terrible punishments ( like making them climb ---really high even a desert environment or living in a waste land ) and they will JUST ignore you. It's a total breakdown in the environment. There is total loss of control of the only human parental unit they have ever had !!! Soon they will be doing it in public. What a mess!!!! My advice , put a roll of duct tape in their view next to a tank housing a big bull frog !!!!. Maybe that would establish a little self control. I have 6 tree frogs. I'm so afraid something like this could happen. I noticed mine starting to stay up late and lurking around each other. Is that how it started for you ? You might gather as much information about the situation as possible and consider sending it to a third party?
    Good luck, Lynn

    Excuse me again,
    but this is not pretend.

    reprimanded within
    Their lesson's begin.

    Songs from the toads
    of their longest ago

    through their eyes untold
    their concept and clarity unfolds

    as they creek and groan,
    amongst mud and foam

    They speak of when toads
    roam alone on earth's stone

    After considering all that they've seen
    Massive fish, thunderous lizards, and ape supreme.

    They do just the same, concerned of the next name
    of the ones who bring pain, In contemplation they'll remain,
    a gluttonous glut, mulled over those evolutions of insane.

    Hello Lynn.
    Thank you for taking this manor seriously.
    I started noticing subtle things a while back:
    for instance, I purchased a cell plan that had the multiple phones, and I gave all the squirps their own cell phones so they could text and talk unlimited any night and weekend. Then a couple months later I noticed squirp was always messing around with her phone, and it racked up the bill to 200 bucks once and I'll tell ya what, I was so livid I plum puckered up my eyebrows and took to a whompin and a stompin to the likes of them cellular devices. Grounded Missey that's for sure I told her. 2 weeks later this little flashy orange stripe chump starts showing up at the house. starts staying over for dinner, dressing nicer, trying to impress everyone, speaking more politely.I don't buy it, tell the guy to scram. Next thing i know, he's buying her things. spouting off on some BS Scouts Honor Promise Ring ****. asks if he can have my blessing to date my most precious and prized award winning heart of smiles squirp.. So you wanna know what I say? I told him he can go Flip himself, and I tossed him right out the front window. He came back the next night with a small toad sized guitar, woke me from a dead sleep, I had to get ready to work in a couple hours so I sprayed him with the hose, told him to get off my yard or I'll stick my boot up his ***. Next thing I know, I catch him bunked up with squirp one night, and he didn't even have the decency to stop what he was doing. he just looked at me with those menacing eyes, it was awful.

    Dear Squirp,
    Soon, this could all be banned from our wonderful FF? It could be X rated ?
    Thank you, for the compliment on my sense of humor ! Yes , I do have one.
    Goodness knows we all need it-now and then. Ha !
    I’ve been thinking. Your sweet girl is all grown up now! Leave her be and let her go !!!!
    She has better things ( way better things) to do than to stare at you through the glass.

    You’ll see , it will all work out. Just listen to the music !!!!!!!
