Toads can talk

Did you know that toads can talk? I didn’t. At least not until yesterday. Rick was mowing along the edges of our back yard yesterday afternoon when he stopped, sighed, and looked at me. I saw the toad jump in front of the mower and knew what he was sighing about. He didn’t want to run over the toad. I picked up the toad to relocate him elsewhere and he started making a chirping sound not unlike a baby bird. I was so startled that I dropped him.

After Rick was done mowing I had a hard time catching him again because he kept leaping out of my hand. Finally I calmed him down enough to sit in my hand and take this video. Turn up your sound!

I know he was just giving out a distress call and not really “talking,” but a gal can imagine he was, now can’t she? I’m sure I heard him say hey lady, thanks for saving me, but would ya please put me down now and leave me alone .. and by the way don’t even think about kissing me!
