Mutant Frogs
“The grandkids found albino frogs again,” he said.
“We can see them much better on the grass when they're white,” they told him.
But they had found two more the week before, and he worried that the pesticides he had used had drifted into the pond and caused mutations. His wife wasn't listening; she was trying to figure out why there were two small dents in the flour in the canister just like last week.
The children herded the frogs to the edge of the pond. Where each splashed into the pond, a small, white circle floated on the water.
