Just a thought: To kiss a frog

  We all know in the story of the frog prince, An evil witch turned the prince into a frog and the only way to turn him back to his royal highness form is nothing grand but rather priceless, it was a kiss from a royal princess. 
   
   Princesses are usually brought up to be prim and proper and unless it was snow white, I doubt any princess would simply kiss a frog. Well perhaps maybe cinderella since kissing mice wasn't a problem and don't you even start about belle from beauty and the beast okay? (They were fuzzy furry mammals) I'm talking about slimy gooey little creatures with jutting eyes and bloating throats called frogs. 

  Touching one is pretty much asking me to peel my skin off and disconnect all my touch receptors, What more about kissing one? (some rather gruesome images best not shared with all of you in case of copyright intentions to commit suicide)

    I grew up reading the original version of the story by the Brothers Grimm where the princess throws the frog against the wall instead of kissing it and the somehow being tossed at the wall turned him back into his handsome human form. There was another version where the frog would just ask to sleep on the princess's bed every night and somehow that worked as well. In both these versions, the princess is rather reluctant when it comes to returning the favor of the frog who has oh-so kindly picked up her precious golden ball from the well.

   In all honesty, I feel that most of us girls would be as well. I mean, most of us in general can't even stand looking at them and would probably throw the frog against the wall or perhaps some of us who have higher tolerance would actually bear with having a frog sleeping next to our pillow with lots of borders and fences separating us in between.(fortress made of pillows?)

  In the end, no one kisses the frog. Lets switch it up a bit.
In real life, what if the frog represented some underdog person who is not what he/she seems to be. He or She may be the one true soul that sings the same song as yours, would you kiss the frog if the opportunity arises? (frogs are rather blunt people at times now aren't they? asking for a kiss directly shouldn't be much of a surprise) or would you throw him/her against the wall in disgust ? (which probably means getting a restriction order)

  What are the chances of them revealing their true form? or perhaps what's inside isn't far from what's on the outside. And as the old saying goes "You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your handsome prince " . Not a very efficient "trial and error" method don't you think? But it all comes down to one thing..

To kiss or not to kiss? That is the question.
