Chasing frogs...

Ok, not that it isn’t a metaphor for my life, but tonight I was literally chasing frogs! After the huge attempt I made to get my cell phone fixed which was an adventure all it’s own, we headed back to Evon’s house for a couple drinks and a movie. A couple drinks into the night we decided to sit on the back deck and have a cigarette. Somewhere between the conversations about our love lives and beer, I heard it. The first time I thought I was imagining things….. Maybe I was drunk and I was just hearing things…. The second time I had to look… Look for what you might wonder, it was a wild pig running loose in her back yard. Really! Growing up around farms and animals it was a pretty distinct noise… a pig, or so I thought! So, I had to ask what that noise was…. Are you hoarding swine in your basement? Is there something you want to tell me? She looked at me baffled and asked what I was talking about. I couldn’t believe she didn’t hear it… So I blew it off and went on with our very delightful and interesting conversation! Mid conversation I hear it again… Un-phased, Evon kept the conversation going. At this point I was starting to wonder if I was losing my mind. I knew I wasn’t drunk, I knew I wasn’t imagining things… What was going on here? Now I know nature better than most girls and it certainly resembled a pig and then there it was again. Finally, she looks at me and asks, is that the noise your talking about? There were so many not so nice comments I thought about making but I thought as funny as they might be just say yes and find out what that is….. She then tells me as if I am a little kid who knows no better… Ashton it’s a frog… What? Really? What kind of frog sounds like a pig? At this point I had to know. So, somewhere between the beer and conversation, I decided I had to find this thing…. So I began my search…I had to know what kind of frog there was out there that sounded like a pig! Nothing, I found nothing. Little bastard hid well! Every time I would walk away he would go at it again! I am determined to believe that she is actually hoarding little mini pigs somewhere…. It’s a possibility right? I know I am a dork!
