Souvenirs

Abstract

in twenty-five years, when you climb the steps to your attic, looking for a china plate your mother gave you, or the quilt that has been in the family for five generations, you may come across these frogs, this family, a mother and children. they will be in the same box as the old love letters and trinkets from every city each of your friends has ever visited. will you wipe the dust from their backs, wondering which of us gave them to you?
