Mom has never been one to tell a lot of jokes but this is certainly the one exception that, in the end, always leaves her laughing and crying at once; it is all in the telling:
FREDDY, THE BIG-MOUTH FROG
There once was a BIG-MOUTH frog named Freddie who lived not far from here.
One day he decided to leave his pond and see the world.
On his journey he met any number of new and strange looking animals. And every time he came upon a new friend he would excitedly SHOUT with his BIG MOUTH WIDE OPEN using his LOUDEST, CROAKIEST voice:
"HELLO, I'M FREDDY THE BIG-MOUTH FROG! WHAT ARE YOU, AND WHAT DO YOU EAT?"
On his first day he met a four-legged, black and white animal with two horns;on asking his question the animal replied,
"I'm a cow, and I eat grass"
To which Freddy would always reply, "OHHH, IS THAT SO!?"
His adventures took him far and wide; after meeting the likes of mice eating eagles, and honey eating bears -- he eventually came upon a watery swamp.
There he happened on a long, green, slimy creature with huge jaws.
Happy to meet yet another new friend, Freddy BELLOWED:
"HELLO, I'M FREDDY, THE BIG-MOUTH FROG! WHAT ARE YOU, AND WHAT DO YOU EAT?"
At this, the watery beast inched closer, snapped his jaws and replied:
"I'm an Alligator, and I LOVE TO EAT BIG-MOUTH FROGS."
Freddy, the not-so-big mouth frog, gulped and in the tiniest of croaks replied:
“ohhh ... shit.”
