"You have to kiss a lot of frogs, before you find a prince"

Posted by Ward on September 15, 2004

This expression applies to a lot of life situations. Although I don't know its origin, I suspect it relates back to that old fairy tale about the princess who picked up the frog and was told to kiss it and it would turn into a prince. There are several endings (some rather x rated) but the moral is to keep trying.
I post this in the hope that the Goddess will come to her senses and grace us with her wit and sense of humor in the future. Come on Goddess, kiss a few frogs here.......there are a lot of princes, too.
