What’s With All These Frogs?

With the colder seasons coming quickly upon us, we often expect to see fewer birds, fewer people in our 8 a.m.s, and the stupid bugs finally go away, but this year is a little different. Droves of frogs have taken Iowa City by force this fall, hopping their weird little green bodies through the city streets. 

People all around have been pointing the finger at local crone, Agatha Bonecrusher, and her delicious candy, claiming that she is responsible for this infestation.

Agatha, a total sweetheart and baking extraordinaire, has been innocently getting into the Halloween Spirit by handing out candy to college students on Clinton Street. She has been offering her homemade candy to us free of charge simply out of the kindness of her heart. 

Ribbit.

Excuse us. We don’t know what that was.

Anyhow, people are weirdly trying to connect the frog invasion to our homegirl Agatha, and we will not stand for it. She gave us some of her delicious green apple gummy frogs this morning and we feel totally— ribbit, crooakkkkk —fine. It’s not fair to accuse a nice old woman of poisoning hundreds of students. It doesn’t matter what the haters say, we’re with you Agatha! 

Agatha says she will be– ribbit –handing out candy– ribbit –all the way through Hallow— ribbit —weekend. 

Blerg. Excuse us, we might need to — ribbit, croaakkk, ribbit -– take a quick break.

Tune in next week to hear about—ribbit—our favorite ponds on campus. 

Ribbit, croooakkk ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.
