Overheard Conversations: Ducks




"Why are we stopping here, we're like two blocks from the house?"
"I just need a few minutes first."
"Seriously? When are you going to get past your issues with your mother?"
"You only see her a day or two at a time, you don't know."
"Oh, I know, everyone has issues with their parents."
"When I see her it just..."
"What?"
"It brings back all the old feelings. Believe it or not, I wasn't always the masterpiece before you."
"I have absolutely no problem believing that."
"Ha. Ha. Ha."
"You know, your mother isn't the same person either. Everyone says so."
"You like her don't you?"
"I do. We get on very nicely."
"Yeah well, what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander."

  14. I love this! I once saw a pair of mallards land in our fish pond on Valentine's day years ago and I thought it was so romantic. But after reading this, they were probably lost on the way to some family reunion because the husband refused to look at a map. You crack me up.
    I like the header, I see a cricket but, um...the other thing? What the heck is it? - G
