Your Very First Ducky (Written by yo' momma)...

Dec 25, 2008 21:29

When I was four years old, my favorite stuffed animal was a small duck. It had yellow fur - with a felt orange beak and little felt orange wings.

I was very fond of my duck. I called my little friend 'Ducky'. It was a constant companion but the wear and tear of ordinary life was beginning to take its toll. Yet I never cared that Ducky was getting a little dirty and stained. Ducky was always by my side when I went to bed. Ducky would also watch TV with me.

One day I took Ducky to nursery school - it was take your favorite stuffed animal to school day. At some point during the day's activities, one of Ducky's felt wings was torn off. Mom told me that we could fix Ducky, that we could make him better, that the wing could be sewed back on.

I chose a different path.

I threw Ducky out.
