Mum's tadpoles

Thing is she really HAS got hundreds. Every time I call round there she says “let’s go and look at the tadpoles”. She has set it up do have a little area of shade to protect them from the sun. The water is literally thick with them though. “Look at his little legs,” she goes.

The reason I am not allowed to have any is because I have a water filter and the tadpoles would get sucked up in to it. Duh. Yes that is the reprobatish adult I have become. I cannot be trusted with my mother’s tadpoles.

So I keep the surviving ONE of the SIX she gave me in a tub of his own. He is growing quite well, about one inch long and starting to sprout legs and go brown.
