Maya likes toads



When Maya helps me pick up Lola from doggie day camp (she insists on this), we have to spend 20 minutes looking at ALL of the animals at the pet store. Today there were rescue kittens (some interest), a guinea pig (lots of interest), and the usual obsession with tapping on the fish tanks–all 250 of them–and watching the fish scatter, with glee.

Then we got to the fire bellied toads. Maya was in love with the frogs, and talked to them for a long, long time. “Oh, you love me too? You are such a happy froggie! I love talking to you! What are your froggie friends doing?” It went on and on.

Note: as I write this, Maya is giving Hana a blow-by-blow account of the pet store while in bed.
