Being the only single sibling on Valentine's Day has its advantages. For the past few years, my sister in Nevada has sent me prize each Valentine's Day with a note to let me know that she's thinking of me. This year she went all out and sent me a Valentine's Day survival package.
The card said, "Someday Your Prince Will Come."
I told my nephews that my boyfriend came in the mail. Yes, I lied to them. But they played along with it, so I figure it's okay. Apparently they haven't seen any real prospects for a new uncle coming around lately, because they really took to the idea of this mail-order boyfriend.
It was a frog that I had to kiss and then soak in water to watch him turn into a prince.
And over the course of 72 hours he would grow.
Even Miss A got in on the excitement.
The irony of the whole situation is that is was supposed to be simple;
a JUST ADD WATER BOYFRIEND.
The instructions said that within minutes, the frog should start to transform into a prince. After about 10 minutes of waiting, a loving family member joked
that I probably didn't read the instructions correctly, just like my real dating life.
Well, it's true. I missed a step (just like in my real dating life- or at least it feels that way.)
Once I figured out what I was doing wrong, the frog began to turn into a prince.
And over the course of the next 72 hours, he reached the height of four inches.
Which is also ironic because that's the average height of the boys I date.
Wow! There are so many parallels I could draw from this experiment.
But I won't because they'll all be of a mocking, sarcastic nature.
And as the boys tell me, if I weren't so sarcastic, they would ask me out. :)
I would post a picture of the final product, but my story isn't finished yet.
I have yet to find the frog that I think is a prince.
As soon as I do, I will post a picture of the actual frog-turned-prince.
But don't hold your breath...
who knows if blogging will still be the trend by the time this happens.

He's a hottie! And the best part is he can't talk back.
The prince looks llike he may be floating in amniotic fluid. Maybe another parallel?
That is so cute!
What a fun present for you to get. I wish I had a sisters, my smelly brothers would never do anything like that.
Although, they can beat up potentional suitors, which is almost as cool. I don't know how to spell potentional.
