The difference between a frog and a toad.

Setting: Rural home in the Northeast, United States, having received excess amounts of rainfall.
There is a large puddle at the base of the driveway due to drainage issues. The residents loving refer to this as "Lake (fill in last name)".

Scene: Home Interior

Husband: That's the damnedest thing.
Wife: What?
Husband: That's the damnedest thing.
Wife: Honey, what are you talking about?
Husband: That's the damnedest thing I've ever seen.
Wife: (exasperated) What are you talking about?
Husband: You know "Lake (fill in last name)", there's a frog swimming around in it.
Wife: What do you mean a frog swimming around in it?
Husband: (louder) A frog is swimming in "Lake (fill in last name)"!
Wife: No, you must be confused!

Scene: Home Exterior

Wife: Well I'll be damned, there IS a frog swimming around in "Lake (fill in last name)"
Husband: I know, can you believe it!!!
Wife: But is it a frog or a toad.
Husband: I don't know, it's an amphibian swimming around in "Lake (fill in last name)"

Enter friend-on phone with wife
Wife: How do you tell the difference between a frog and a toad?
Friend: I don't know but I happen to be on the computer, let's google it.
(below is what was found)





My question is: Who is going to open their mouths to find out if they have teeth or not?!?!?

And they are both so cute! Hmmmm, will they both turn into princes when kissed or is that just the toads...or is it the frog that does that, they don't address that difference.
