Ever have a "Michigan J. Frog" Situation?

Post Reply New Topic

Michigan J. Frog is the frog from this Looney Tune:


You, know, he has a fabulous, unbelievable act, which he WILL NOT do in front of anyone but you. So no one believes you and when you try to tell anyone about it, and you look like a fool?

I guess my toddler is like suspicious of new people and doesn't want to do tricks for them, because whenever I tell anyone he's a genius or even bright, I come away looking foolish and like he's possibly slow.

According to what I've read, this happens to parents of small children all the time. Like when their babies start talking and making sounds, the parents eagerly want other adults to hear them. Then the kids seal their mouths shut like they're captured spies.
