Dejected Ducks...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so here you go.

Have you ever seen a duck looking more forlorn? I mean, his feathers are practically drooping.

I stood there for several minutes having this conversation with Chris:

Me: I wonder if he would take a picture with me.

Chris: I don’t think he’s in the appropriate state of mind for that.

Me: Do you think he would get angry if I asked?

Chris: We just beat them. Let’s not ruffle his feathers.

Me: Come on. Surely he has a sense of humor.

Chris: I don’t know. I mean Howard The Duck was funny but I don’t think we can use him as the standard by which all ducks should be compared.

Me: Okay, I’m asking him.

Ta-da!

His hand is blurry but I swear he’s holding up two fingers for #2. Pinky promise.

After we took the picture, the duck commented on my engagement ring saying it was really nice and he hoped I had walked down the aisle wearing it. I said no, it was a 5th anniversary upgrade.

Duck is apparently in love and looking to purchase a diamond himself. There is no other reason a duck (or man) would be checking out women’s engagement rings.

Not sure why, but this made me rather sad. I bet he would have really liked to have won a national championship the same year he proposes to the love of his life.

But it was not to be.

Instead, we won a national championship in the same year as the love of our life joined the family. Precious Aubrey Kate. Our little good luck charm. She’s undefeated you know. What a way to start your journey as part of the Auburn Family!

War Eagle!
