Ok, so, I know this isn’t a comic, but I’ve been busy with school (I know, what a lame excuse) and I didn’t want to go an entire eleven weeks without a post, so I thought I’d share this kinda funny story. Anyway, on the last day of term, and just for context that was the 29th of March, I got home at around 4:30pm and walked into the bathroom and saw this…
Just in case you can’t tell, that my friends, is a really big rubber duck – it’s probably 40cm long. I bet your thinking that it’s really cute, and yeah, I’ll agree, it is super cute. But, when I walked into the bathroom, I was tired, and the light was off. So, imagine my surprise when I turned the light on and saw this staring at me. I’ll admit, my heart skipped a beat - it freaked me out for a moment. Naturally, I was confused as to where this duck came from, because, I can assure you, it was not there when I left for school that morning. So, I called my mother to try and get some answers to the many questions I had. My main question being ‘why?’ My mother simply replied, “Why not?” And that was the end of that conversation, because I had no reply to that. Obviously, after my confusion faded I had a bubble bath with it. And I’ll admit, I don’t enjoy baths, but I enjoyed that bath.
All of the rubber duck shenanigans died down for about a month… until two weeks ago. So, I came home, and walked into my bedroom to change into some comfortable clothes, and found these on my desk…
Yes, those are rubber ducks. They are no where near as big as the other one – they’re probably ten to fifteen centimeters long. Again, you probably think that they’re really cute, and I do agree, but that still doesn’t explain why my mother got them. So, I asked her. She said that she was at Big W and found them. Now, I don’t know how she just stumbled across them, because I am sure that they were in the baby section, and there are no babies in my family. So, I think my mother sought out the rubber ducks.
Anyway, early on last week, my mother sent me some pictures of rubber ducks, no context, just pictures of rubber ducks. I think she was probably tormenting me.
I think it was Wednesday last week, when I came home and found, you guessed it, another rubber duck. But, there was something different about this one…
Yup, it’s blue and about 40cm long. Now I really wish that what I’m about to say was a joke, but it’s not. I found this duck… in my bed. IN MY BED. Like actually in my bed with the blankets pulled up around its neck. I think it’s pretty obvious who’s to blame for this. So, not only did I ask my mother why she bought the duck, but why she felt the need to tuck it into my bed. And you wanna know what she said? She said that she tucked it in because it looked sick. I am not joking, that is what she said.
I don’t know why she kept buying the rubber ducks, I didn’t ask her to buy them, but I don’t think she’s going to stop. Why you ask. Because she sent my this the other day…
She did not buy one. But, nonetheless, I am now the owner of five rubber ducks. And let me tell you, it’s a little bit uncomfortable to shower and use the toilet with 5 sets of eyes staring at you
Now, all that being said, I do actually love the rubber ducks. And I feel happy knowing that my mother has bought these knowing that they’d make me happy. I am yet to have a bath will all of my ducks, but I will keep you updated if I get anymore. For now, here’s a group picture…
I do not have any names for my ducks yet, so, if you have an idea let me know :)
