13th of Jan - Rubber Ducky Day
Hello and welcome to Jan 13, or as it is better known, Rubber Ducky Day
Okay, well, maybe 'Better Known' was something of an overstatement, (or lie), but nevertheless today still happens to be Rubber Ducky Day and I still have to celebrate it.
I decided that the best way to celebrate Rubber Ducky Day would be to bathe with my rubber avian friends. So I ran a bath and went looking for rubber ducks. Bizarrely, the only rubber ducks we have in the house happen to be either Christmas Themed or Devil Ducks; I was hoping for a classic, fist sized yellow fellow, but all I got was ankle sized ducks with antlers and horns. Upon placing said ducks in the bathtub, I noticed something was wrong with my jolly, waterfowl, bathfellows:
In television and movies rubber duckies float much like their real life counterparts, that is: they float merrily along on their bases, not drunkenly on their sides or suicidally upside down, both upsetting and disillusioning those who see them. I do - oh by the way the reason my bathwater looks like that is because eucalyptus leaves get into our tank - I do have a theory as to why my ducks don't float however:
The base of the duck is in no way proportionate...
...to the actual Duck itself
One can not help but feel cheated.
Happy Rubber Duck Day
