About ten years ago Jacob's older sister, Carolyn, left a frog-shaped bean bag in Jacob's bedroom before she moved out for college. A couple months later the frog showed up in Carolyn's apartment unexpected. Since then the frog has been transferred back and forth between Jacob and Carolyn always being left in mysterious ways.
For example, while Carolyn was living in D.C. she noticed her pillow was a bit lumpy. After a couple weeks of tolerating her uncomfortable pillow she realized the frog had been stuffed inside of it. Later while Jacob was in college he was asked to read a scripture in Sunday school. Upon opening his scripture case he found the frog there instead of scriptures. A year or two later Carolyn discovered it inside a flower vase at her Detroit apartment. Later it mysteriously showed up on Jacob's windshield in Provo.
Recently, while in Utah, we hid the frog in Carolyn's piano bench. Last week the frog somehow flew on a plane across the country, made its way past security guards, through doors that require a key card, and into Jacob's desk at work. How this was done, we do not know, but Carolyn won this round.
If anyone has any information regarding this bean bag frog, we would really appreciate it.

Good luck. Carolyn has sworn us all to silence and her wrath is fearsome (besides, she makes amazing food and I don't want to jeopardize that for anything). Just kidding. She probably hasn't even told me. But maybe she did. But maybe not!
Okay, you want to know how the frog got there? It just missed you much! It couldn't stand to be away and took the first plane it could get to Connecticut (with a quick stop off in New York to see a show). Then, security guards never look down, so the frog had an easy enough time just getting into Pratt when somebody else opened the door. There you go. Mystery solved!
Love it!
That is awesome!!!
Hee hee! How fun!
Jen- did you hide the frog in Jake's desk?
I can honestly say that the frog was NOT aided by either Jake or myself... which makes it that much freakier!
Hasn't it occurred to you that this must be a different, though identical, frog? Plainly, you two have picked up spores from the mother frog, one of which has been activiated by perfect frog-growing conditions and matured at Jacob's desk. (When you eliminate the impossible, what remains is the answer!)
Sounds like this frog could start applying for missions with Special Forces or the CIA--or maybe as David Copperfield's assistant!
You know, the longer I stare at the picture of that pale thing, the weirder it looks. It kind of looks like an amputee crab or maybe a spider.
Love this post so much - I think I've come by to read it, like, a dozen times. Makes me laugh - just what I needed today! Thanks!!!
This is the best story I've heard all day! Good luck topping this one.
K, this is too weird. my brother and i have been doing this for 10 years too, but with a spoon and a knife. one day, i came home from high school and he had one of my porcelain dolls sitting up on my bed holding a knife and a spoon (disturbing, I know). so a few days later i taped them to the shower head, and thus the games began. the silverware has gone across the country a few times and received in hilarious ways. I have never heard of anyone else doing this!! Crazy! Love it.
