Ducky

So last night I get a call from my Ex who is nearby with Lamb by a pond with hungry ducks.

So I grab some bread and crackers so Lamb can feed the ducks. My Ex ducks off for a quick errand while we feed the ducks who eagerly crowd around Lamb as she tossed bits of bread to them, sometimes trodding on her feet.

I showed lamb how to hold a cracker and get a duck to take it right from her. She had a ball.

A couple walking nearby asked if we'd smile while they took our picture feeding the ducks. We obliged them and when we ran out of bread and the ducks waddled off to the pond after scouring the grass for tiny bread scraps, we walked over to where Lamb's mom was.

I said goodnight to Lamb as her mom drove themselves home, and I was back at my home before my carbonated beverage had lost too much fizz (a non-alcoholic variety, actually) and restarted the Netflix movie that had arrived. Totally sucked.

Just a little unexpected fun moment with Lamb, who knew I could mount a duck rescue when necessary.
