Ever heard a frog stop croaking the second you look at it? I call it “amphibian anxiety.” My backyard frog, Gerald, sings all night—but if I open the door, silence. Like a kid caught lip-syncing. Then as soon as I close it—ribbit-ribbit-ribbit. He’s shy but persistent. Gerald’s motto: “Sing like nobody’s watching… but only if nobody’s watching.”
