Three Cheers for the Rubber Duck!

How awesome is it that the rubber duck has been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame? (Honestly, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner)

FYI: Aiselne is a huge lover of yellow rubber duckies. :3 Always have been. Always will.

I was so happy to read about the rubber duck’s award in my local newspaper. Rubber ducks just have that effect on me: they make people happy. That’s precisely why I’m a huge fan of Florentijn Hofman’s giant rubber duck project for therapeutic purposes:

“The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!” - from Florentijn Hofman’s website

Speaking personally, I’d been undergoing a needlessly hectic two weeks, so seeing the rubber duck become a historic hall of famer made me so happy! :D It’s amazing how something so small and simple can tremendously brighten a person’s day. Bravo, Rubber Ducky!

life, randomness
