Description

Hey, I'm Fred the Frog, and this is my story.

I lost traction the other day. It rained so hard, I slid right off my leaf. Gertie and Berta saw it happen. You KNOW they'll never let me live that one down.

So I got up the next day and hopped over to Michael's in search of a glue upgrade for my feet. The sales lady tried to sell me Gorilla Glue. I guess she needed glasses, 'cause I sure as shootin' ain't no gorilla.

Anyway, they had this stuff called SuperGlue. Now YOU tell ME, what tree frog wouldn't want that stuff on his feet.

I should have read the label first. One drop holds a ton. Permanent adhesive. I've been stuck under this leaf for three days. Do you know how many bugs take a rest UNDER a leaf.

My point exactly.

Take a lesson from me, Fred the Frog. Read the label first!
