Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 24, 2013

Mom will deny it until her dying day…

You’re right about one part of your statement. I won’t say which but I’ll give you a clue. I know your mother !

I feel funny dressing my mom…

First the trees, now the bunnys.When will the giving stop? : (

That cap’s funny for a start.

“Momma. I’m just a fat, ugly guy”

Hey, that’s mime line!

Take that Sad Sack mask away from your face and let us be the judges of whether or not you are ugly. And stand up straight, so we can see clearly how your mother dresses you!Mom is not an objective judge.

“You will sit there and practise putting on make-up ‘til you look just like all the other mimes. At the moment you look like a child’s cartoon, or the one that woman draws; what’s her name….Teresa something.”

Would you like a third opinion?

Absolutely love the Pol Ledent artwork. But the link gave me a 404 Not Found error. But google is always available.

Tough being a girl and daughter. The mask says a lot.

Deep cartoon and beautiful blog today. Nothing like a cup of tea and the Frog to start the day. Wouldn’t it be great if all ads featured honest info and original art like the one for the rubber company?

Dear Teresa

Stereotyping is beneath you, my dear.

Rotifer always looked so cute in his Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit. But now I’m thinking of letting him wear long pants (I’ve even bought him a pair for when he turns 60 in several weeks).

Sincerely,

Really, what’s wrong with a tutu and army boots?And Lady Gaga is a perfectly good name for a boy!

I had to look up where I heard that line before. Google wasn’t being cooperative, but I think it was from one of the Sandlot movies. And then Showtime stole it.

Funny ha ha or funny weird? Or why can’t it be both?

VOICE OF CHARLIE BROWN ARRESTED FOR STALKINGShould just steal my cousin’s ID. Damn near a twin.

Just wait until you see Mother.

Better than the other way around…I guess…

Re: TURKU, FINLANDThere’s a Red House over yonder.

If you were a nudist that wouldn’t be an issue.

..unless you are talking about your birthday suit? I’ll admit it probably does look a bit rumpled. What happened, it looks like you slept in it?

The many Emanuelle movies have served my fantasy life well.

I saw with much interest the picture from Turku, Finland(Suomi). Years ago, when I lived in Atlanta, GA, I knew a beautiful woman who was born in Turku. Thanks, Teresa, for the memories.

I second the comment from jeffc42- and I particularly like the colorful examples you chose for the blog. The link worked for me. Pol Ledent (Polident?) Unfortunate phonetic translation into US English.
