Me: Want to go for a ride, Ducky?
Ducky: Rhetorical question?
Me: Because Duckies always want to go for rides?
Me: Want to know where we’re going?
Ducky: As long as it’s not the Post Office, I don’t care.
Ducky: Just kidding. I heard you tell The Lady you were going to the Post Office.
Ducky: I do have a question, however.
Me: What’s a Post Office?
Ducky: What is a Post Office?
Me: It’s a place where people go to mail letters.
Ducky: Two part follow up.
Me: “Mail” and “letters?”
Ducky: You could explain while we ride.
Ducky: “Mail” sounds familiar.
Me: Well you know about the mailman.
Ducky: Mailman wants to get in the house. Hate the mailman.
Me: He doesn’t actually try to get in the house.
Ducky: Not when he hears me bark. I’m all that stands between us and his evil plan to take all our stuff.
Ducky: I scare him and he drops things and runs.
Me: I know you think that’s what happens but his job is to drop things and run. Your barking has no effect.
Ducky: That’s probably what he tells his family when he gets home and has to explain why he doesn’t have his stuff anymore.
Me: Anyway, the Post Office is where that stuff he brings comes from.
Ducky: So we’re going to the mailman’s house?
Ducky: What if he’s there?
He: He won’t be. It’s Sunday. But I need to drop something off and I thought you’d like the ride.
Ducky: I do not like the mailman.
Me: We’ll only be there a few minutes. Walk in, drop off the letter, and leave. And you get to go into a new place with new smells.
Me: Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
Me: Isn’t this nice, Ducky? A new place!
Ducky: Smells like a lot of mailman.
Me: A lot of them do work here.
Me: I don’t know. A dozen? Maybe more.
Ducky: WELL THEY BETTER WATCH THEMSELVES WITH ME HERE I TELL YOU THAT MUCH!!!
Me: Thanks for staying alert. I love you, Ducky.
Ducky: I LOVE YOU DADDY AND WE CAN TOTALLY GET GOING BACK HOME ANY TIME YOU WANT!
