Quote of the Day: A List of Things to Do

"Help!" cried Toad. "My list is blowing away. What will I do without my list?"
"Hurry!" said Frog. "We will run and catch it."
"No!" shouted Toad. "I cannot do that."
"Why not?" asked Frog.
"Because," wailed Toad, "running after my list is not one of the things that I wrote on my list of things to do!"

-- Arnold Lobel, Frog and Toad Together (1972)

(...but how does he know that without it?)
