The Frog of Enlightenupment Faces Forward

As those of us who know the Frog of Enlightenupment know, the hand frog faces its maker. You make the frog talk. The frog talks to you. It's a one-man/one-frog kind of thing.

Today, my son the research scientist showed me a Forward Facing Frog, as it were. Somehow he had figured out how to make a frog that, in true puppet-like-fashion, faced away from its maker. Finally, the Forward Facing Finger Frog can claim its rightful place on the cosmic lily pad of universal, uh, liliness.

As for how to make the Forward Facing Frog, my son writes, cryptically:

1. Start with your thumb and forefinger
2. Interlace just like you do with your pinky and ring finger when it's the other way around (see The Frog of Enlightenupment)
3. Wrap middle finger around forefinger
4. The other fingers are the mouth
