When the bbf and I each posted the spider-sitting-on-top-of-the-frog-sitting-on-top-of-the-turtle-in-my-parents’-pool-filter photo on our individual websites back in August, we expected to receive a handful of comments like “Cute!” “Rad!” and “Aww.” We did not expect “Your photo inspired me to get a permanent tattoo.”
Aimee Pierson of California was so touched by the story of these interspecies friends working together to survive that she wanted to spread the word about their “incredible journey.”
It would not have occurred to me to get a tattoo of this image, but I am proud and amazed that our photo made such a difference in someone’s life. And the photo will continue to make a difference at every cocktail party Aimee attends in a backless gown. And at her community swimming pool. And in her sex life.
Looking at this tattoo, I feel like I’m standing on top of a smile on top of a puppy on top of Christmas morning. Thank you, Aimee, for sharing the turtle-frog-spider love.

That’s kinda wild. Not gonna lie.
Reminds me of “Mouse on Cat on Dog”.

In.Credible. Wish I had thought of it first, that’s all I can say.

Can I write “I have no comment” or is that a comment in itself.
The net is truly freaking me out now - and I have thought that many times before.

Viral is starting to make sense to me. I just sent both photos to almost everyone I have every met with a short summary.
If there is a sitcom about this - will you get money?
