Jami frog story

I have an Isaac story that I have to share. I'll try not to drag it out too much.

So when Isaac is visiting, he is usually keyed up and tired and has a hard time settling down to go to sleep at night. When grandma tells his bedtime story I usually lay down by him and talk him to sleep. I'm not a good impromptu thinker. As I thought of what boring things I could talk to him about I was inspired by my kids. What do I tell them that bore them to death? I started telling Isaac about growing up on the farm. Yep, including hoeing sugar beets and moving sprinkler pipes. Of course it worked. He didn't last very long. Well I started talking about that at bedtime while we were in Utah. Then I started talking to him about Jami. He met Jami once when he was a year old. For some reason I'm guessing that he probably doesn't remember her. We talked about Jami for 2 nights and then I was not there at bedtime the next night. I got in trouble. Isaac requested the Jami frog story. Molly told him that grandma or his dad would have to tell him Jami stories. I had to think for a minute what Jami frog story he wanted to hear. Then I remembered that I told him that Jami had lizards. I think he got confused between lizards and frogs.
