life of a duck

Only one week left of the semester and I've never been happier. This has been one rough school year. I am just glad that it has an end.

So I have a funny story to tell that I've been meaning to tell for a while and haven't had time. I was sitting by Jacob's Dream, a statue on campus, waiting to take some pictures and a little girl came up eating an ice cream cone. She came and sat down near me. I looked up, but soon continued reading my book. After a few minutes she begins talking to me. She talks about everything from her ice cream to a butterfly flying by. Basically I couldn't get her to be quiet. :) All of a sudden she says the most random and hilarious thing. She says,

"I always wished I was a duck, because they can swim, walk on land AND fly!"

I thought about it and then realized that she is right and that I had never thought about that before! The things you can learn from kids. Seems like a duck is a pretty good animal to be! :)

Anyways...just a random story I thought I'd share.
