So yesterday David was in the kitchen refilling the watering can, and I was organizing books, and we were having a nice, quiet afternoon. Then suddenly there was a bloodcurdling scream from the kitchen.
A terrifying thing had happened: one of the leaves stuck to the side of the watering can
jumped off and attacked David. Except that it turned out not to be a leaf, but instead a very small, very sticky frog. A tree frog. Excitement ensued as David chased the frog all over the house. Helpfully, I ran for my camera.
In the end, David cornered the tree frog on the leg of a folding table, which he carried outside, freeing the frog. Then he went back to watering the plants. I went back to sorting the books. And the tree frog resumed its impersonation of a leaf.

Why do frogs and lizards attack David? Was he a predator in a previous lifetime?
