audrey

Posted by Picasa

We had Christmas lunch with my Grandma. Her care center has a duck pond on the grounds, and as my family and I were getting ready to leave, my niece spotted about fifteen ducks waddling around. Her whole face lit up and she shrieked, "Du! Du! Du!" I took her over the ducks and started chasing them with her. She was elated and even gleeful. No matter how long she stared at them, she was still completely fascinated and still kept pointing and saying, "Du! Du! Du!" as if she wanted to make sure I understood how exciting this moment was. I pass by a duck pond everyday on my way to school, but I only realized then that I have been frequently missing out on the extreme joy of chasing ducks.
