Frog Prince

While cleaning out the garage during a lull in the garage sale, we came across Herself's old album, The Frog Prince.  Delightful!  When she was a child, she listened to it on the brightly colored plastic-shelled record player in the playroom.  She'd listen to the voices and hum along with the songs while looking at the photos inside the album cover (which opened like a two-page book).  It was one of her favorite pastimes. It was only years later that she realized the photos were actually stills from a television special by Jim Henson and his muppets.  She's never seen the show.

One time, she was listening to the album when one of her mother's friends, who was visiting, came through the playroom.  She looked at the photos with Herself, and confided that she thought the Prince was better looking when he was a frog.  Indeed, he was.
