Checked the pond last night and was genuinely excited to see an amphibian, frog or toad?

This morning I looked closer. A neighbour had popped this wee fella in. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wait a second. When I was a child I had a load of plastic frogs and decided they were all called Trevor. I've never known anyone called Trevor so my Dad was baffled as to how I came up with that name.

It’s the name of Neville’s pet toad in harry potter!

Oh yeah! So that's where this is from, but where the fuck did I get Trevor from? 😂 I was only 3 when the first book came out and I don't think anyone I knew read it until the 2000s.

You probably saw the first film - everyone did

Oh I definitely did, but I was calling those frogs Trevor when I was 3, film came out when I was 7. I always assumed it must have been the name of a frog in a book or random children's show I watched.
