Lucky Duck! David, our 8 year old, going on 23, declared this morning that he knew where the saying, "Lucky Duck!" came from. It's because ducks get run over all the time by cars, get up and run away and don't get killed! So they are lucky ducks. And when people get in car accidents and they don't get killed, well then, that's when you say, "Lucky Duck!".
Thanks, David.

I see his father hasn't yet given him the ducks vs. eagles speech. :)
I stand by my position that ducks have a valuable place in this world. Where else would we get sayings like this??
Coffee,
You are a lucky duck to have such a thinker.
Kelli,
Ducks schmucks.
Hahahahahaha!
I say get that boy on Wikpedia. Can't you find out info. like that on their website? Maybe he could answer the worlds questions and then we'd all BE lucky ducks. Too funny.
No, his father has yet to give him the duck and eagle speech. I can't wait to hear his reaction. Of course, he will have an addition to the story of his own.
Erin..that boy is a thinkin all the time...keeps me on my toes.
For Christmas break entertainment, I'll intro. him to Wikpedia. He calls himself the "Davester". The Davester enters the wikpedia world.
DUCKS RULE! Although it has been decided that I am a fearful duck with eagle tendencies.
Ferdeagle?
Way to go, Davester! Gotta love that kid.
