Sssssssssshhhh!

Hush little goslingk, close your caps,

Mama’s going let you nap on her back

And if your bill should quiver and quack,

We’ll know you’re dreaming of sleeping in a rack.

    The baby has fuzzy eyelids! I suggest a new rule of cuteness!

    Transgendered duck parent?

    That does look like a comfy back, and little duckbaby looks so peaceful. Obviously totally oblivious to the economic news, lucky duck! My rack is ready, sweet little dude!

    I actually reached up and touched the monitor. I couldn’t resist. I wish I could feel the fuzzy gosling.

    Unfortunately, the Internet is not yet the Interpet.

    When ducks are asleep, they honk-shu.
