"I appreciate all the attention you give me...I seem to need more of this kind of 'attention' now, stuck in this body...but...do I really have to spend so much of my time out in your pond? I mean, yes my skin needs to stay wet, but I can do that in the sink or the tub. I don't like being out there...makes me feel like an animal, like a lesser being. Everything smells swampy, like algae, and that includes me after marinating in it all day. Plus there really are a lot of bugs out there and it's like my tongue has a mind of its own, and I hate it. I won't drip all over your floor, I promise...well, I mean, I might be a little sticky sometimes, and leave goop on the door handles...but that's beside the point! C'mon, please?"
