How did a frog get in my toilet?

Since today was going to be a traveling day, last night I actually got to bed at a halfway decent hour. Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard my wife come up the stairs. A minute later, I heard her utter something I have never heard her say before.

Her: "Hey, there's a frog in the toilet!"

Me: "Huh?"

"There's a frog in the toilet. Do something."

"I'm sleeping."

"It's a big, gross one."

Flush

"He jumped up onto the rim of the toilet!"

I went downstairs to find a frog removal device, the frog hopped behind the toilet, and my wife showered downstairs. This morning he was in the shower. I caught it with a box and set it free. He was big and gross. I think it was one of those non-native ones, too.

So, how did a frog wind up in our toilet?

What did you eat!?!?!?!

Have you been out of town for a few days? Probably went up or down the pipes from the roof or sewer as the pipes were dry and unused.

Oh yeah, I didn't use that toilet before going to bed. I went downstairs. (I know, TMI.)

We've been home, and I know I used that toilet the night before. Could it have come down one of those vents on the roof?

In reply to David S. Wallens:

If it is open up top, yeah. You might want to put mesh on the roof vents

Does that entail going up on the roof?

I've had that happen. Our extra house: Toilet is running. You know, the flapper valve not seating, chain dance thing. I pull the lid off the tank, and there's a frog in the tank sitting there looking at me. I caught it and turned it loose in the garage.

I think it's time you sat down with your wife and confronted her with the evidence of her infidelity. Apparently, she found a frog prince, kissed him and made him a prince and used him as an amusement for a while. When she tired of him she turned him back into a frog, dumped him in the toilet, and had you dispose of him.

In reply to David S. Wallens:

Yeah or your wife . She discovered the problem she gets to fix it. Thats how it works, right? Right?!

He might have come down the vent stack as you suggested. I used to sit up on my roof in South Daytona and catch them while watching rocket launches. They used to like to hide in there. Never did have one in my toilet though.

You live in Fla. Be glad it wasn't a snake.

could be worse..

Don;t show your wife this...

My wife would have caught it and brought it to me saying "look how cute it is, I found it in the toilet." She has a thing for amphibians and reptiles...

New deeply-rooted phobia. Thanks.

How sure are you that there wasn't a frog in your underwear the last time you went to the bathroom?

I'm currently vacationing in Paris, and I have one in there every day when our hotel room is being cleaned. (My apologies to any Francophiles reading this forum. It's meant for fun, not to be racist or bigoted. Although I'm sure a very small minority of non-Francophiles out there will invoke the bigotry word, just because they feel justified. You know who you are and so do I).

Why? Because Florida. Land of critters. Be glad it wasn't a snake or an alligator...

Thought about it, but removing the critter from the premise took precedent.

Well, on the bright side it wasn't something poisonous! I found a scorpion in my shower one morning. Glad my vision is OK, otherwise I might have climbed on in and scrubbed up...

Those were a big problem in my previous neighborhood. My wife found one in the shower twice - then got stung by another one in our neighbor's living room!

you know that scorpions live just about everywhere, right? Not just the deserts, but from the mountaintops to the jungles
