So I am at the beach. I wake up and get a nice cup of hot coffee. I get the newspapers and am on my way to relax and slowly wake up. As I walk by the side door, I see a baby lizard. It is stressed. It wants to get out. So I gently open the door and I move my feet to corner the lizard and gently push it out the door. I open the door and the lizard runs out. I smile and all of a sudden, a HUGE frog leaps on me and jumps right into my coffee cup! It freaks me out. The coffee goes plop and all over the floor, all over my shirt. Ouch – it is HOT! I drop the cup and it breaks in multiple pieces. The frog jumps away and is now somewhere in my home.
So now I have no coffee. I am cleaning up spilled coffee all over the floor and broken glass. I have to change my shirt. I have a burn on my hand and next I am on a frog hunt before our puppy gets up and goes nuts chasing it.
All I wanted to do is be nice to a baby lizard. What a way to start the day! Let no good deed go unpunished! I hope your day gets off to a better start than mine.
You had a great start to your day! You accomplished your goal. All the rest is noise!
Had you known the outcome in advance, would you still have done the same thing? More than likely.
Job well done.
I had some dreams, they were frogs in my coffee,
Frogs in my coffee and
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you….

Sounds to me like a great premise for an animated short!
Sorry, Ted – a bad day at the beach is still better than a good day at home!
