If you think you don’t laugh enough…get a duck.
If you think your child will never stop looking at screens…get a duck.
If you think your husband will never pick lettuce…get a duck.
If you think you miss being a new parent again…get a duck.
If you think you don’t really want a nice lawn after all…get a duck.
If you think you have too many hours in your day…get a duck.
If you think you spend too little money on your pets…get a duck.
If you think you need to clean up more poop, more feathers and more poopy feathers…get a duck.
If you think you’d like to be followed around by adorable feathered creatures that make sure you know when they’re hungry or lonely, who greet you with excited quacks and hang out on the patio at your feet…please, by all means, get a duck.*
*If, however, you’re looking for someone who occasionally wears fancy clothes, probably owns an estate and answers to a king or queen…get a duke. (Can’t help you there!)
