Thursday - Dialog on Duckhood

[ninanevermore]

Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about an incident with my year and a half old son this last Friday. I was channel surfing on the TV and stopped to watch "America's Funniest Home Videos," which was showing a clip of a toddler being interviewed by his mother.

"How old are you?" the mother's voice asked.

"Three," the little boy replied, and held up three fingers to show her.

"And what will you be on your next birthday?" his mother asked.

He looked strait at the camera and replied, very seriously and without hesitation, "A duck."

Being a duck myself when I am spending time in cyberspace, I started laughing. My son, who was watching the TV very intently, turned to look at me with a look that was both perplexed and irritated.

"What's so funny?" his face seemed to ask, "That sounded like a very reasonable answer to me!"

And now, because of your first rant on being a cyber duck, every single time I see a rubber duckie either in person or on the net, I think of you :D

When I was little, I wanted to be a pig when I grew up.

a very reasonable answer

well four is an ideal age to be a duck,.. you have to be much,much older to be a lame one,..;)

I'm sneaky that way. My real face does not have this same affect of people, so I have to use my duck persona to stay in people's minds. I'm glad it's working!

I'm sure you would have been an excellent pig, too, had you succeeded in achieving your dream. But I think you make a much better welfy!

after reading your LJ for some time..I have to ask...

Are you ever sober, or not listening to Sabre Dance :P

Cause unless you are kidding your liver must be almost as bad as mine, and your love for Russian composers much greater :)

Haha, when I was two, I had aspirations to be an alligator or a shoe. Hopefully not alligator shoes, though.

Well, our parents do tell us that we can be anything we want, as long as we try hard enough!

Nina is rarely drunk IRL. Her LJ mood and music are more indicative of her surreal state of mind when blogging.

Did I get that right, Nina?

Aren't they? ^_^

Drunk is my mood, but raily my state of being. I'll have to do a post on this. The Saber Dance thing is kind of a running joke that only I get.

I've always gotten along well with ducks. There are some that live in our neighborhood park and when we drive past them, my son points at them and then gets mad when he can't see them any more. We are very pro duck around my house!

Hey, I aspired to be a duck, and it worked out for me. Reach for your dreams!
