Down (in) the Drain

Every day, Wilbur the duckling gets a bath, and he takes to it like… a… thing that, um… a duck might… enjoy… a lot. There’s probably some catchier way to put that.

    Splish splash, I was taking a bath; Long about a Saturday night; A rub duck, just relaxing in the tub…

    Trying to scratch an itch with webbed feet must really suck… :P

    He is so big they may want to try the bathtub. He can swim better and stretch out his legs and little wings.

    “peeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeeppeep”

    Inquiring minds want to know, when does “peeppeeppeep” become QUACK?

    I really hate those recorded Easter Chick stuffed toys-the chickie is screaming “Helphelp! Coldhungry mommymommymommy!!!”
    Yes,I understand baby chick and know “Help” in many animal languages

      What you said reminds me of some previous Cute Overload commentroversy about a dog that was going to go skydiving with its owner, in a harness and everything. Somebody said it was cruel and animals can’t tell you when they’re freaked out, then several other people were like, “Um, no, dogs are perfectly capable of telling humans when they’re freaked out.”

    My nieces used to have a couple ducks. Once, when they were going out of town for a few days, they asked my parents to ducksit. My dad pulled out an old kiddie pool and filled it with water and let the ducks swim around in it. You should hear that grouchy old man go on about how happy it made the ducks. “Those ducks have a different quack according to how they FEEL!”

    Get Wilbur a bigger sink! It’s like a human trying to swim in the bathtub.

    Gaw, I miss mah duck.

    • Emmm says:

      Not to worry Mamabear, there’s still “goose, goose…”

      On second thought, I was thinking you meant a rubber duckie when I wrote that, but then realised he/she may have been a real swimming duck, in which case I don’t mean any disrespect for your loss.

    “But the one little duck with the feather on his back, he led the others with a quack quack quack!”

    oh my god !!!

    He’s fantastically cute, but I’d get him a baby pool cuz I’m a bit queasy about critter poo in my kitchen sink … don’t know about you guys. I’m sure his poo is very cute, but … gack! But otherwise … y’know, squee ‘n’ stuff.

  12. Kar says:

    Wilbur’s really taking to this. Like a duck to, you know.

  13. Angel says:

    Wilbur looks and sounds just like my little yellow rubber ducky, but he’s fluffier.

    Swimmin around the sink, he looks more like a goldfish in a bowl!

    This will make you smile. It might even make you weepy (in a good way).
