What Is That? That Freaky Thing?

You guys are SO not gonna believe THIS. I thought my world was safe. I thought it a bastion of security, impregnable. Set apart, even. But, you know that isn't so. Never is, is it?


I set before you Exhibit A:

A habitat of sorts, yes? But for what? For who? Or, worse yet, WHOM?


Oh, no. That's just foul. Erm, I mean, FOWL.
Yep, she brought home some ducklings. Four wee balls o' black down cheepin' high-pitched cheeps fit to wear your cochlear nerve to shreds. Oh, that interwebs is a dastardly instrument. Why, any Tom, Dick or Mom can toodle around and plunk down real live cash moneys by virtual means and enjoy the delivery of these, these, these BIRDS.
Which are NOT for eating.
Oh, NO-she did NOT! She B&W'd them and now they're enshrined for good. Oh, and these fella's are Nawthenuh's. Cayehuga Ducks, and listed as threatened by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

You think they'd miss four more? Anywhoosen, they're hangin' out in the backyard, poopin' and cheepin' and foragin' for imaginary forage.

Do I look as if I'm listing slightly to the right? I think I'm listing slightly to the right. And is it any wonder? With the household I live in and the livestock I have to put up with, it's a wonder I'm not belly-up.


Heavens to Mergatroid.

Whatever.

Oh WOW! DUCKIES!! You've got duckies!! How fun!

Um, I mean. . . .
DUCKS! In YOUR yard! The nerve of your Mom! What WAS she thinking?

Daisy said...

WHOA! Did the ducks arrive in the shell, or were they already hatched?

The Whiskeratti said...

Huh. We don't blame you one bit for being upset.

Kea said...

Wow, duckies! But we don't understand....How can they not be for eating? Why else would she bring them home, but for you to eat as a snack? What sheer torture, to look but not touch!

Goldie, Shade and Banshee said...

I hear you loud and clear but the PM ithinks they are pretty *adorable*.

She weird.

Tom, Tama-Chan, Sei-Chan, Yuu-Chan and Bibi-Chan said...

Well, well, Angus... life never seems to be boring over in your part of Texas. Does this mean you will not be allowed outdoors again anytime soon?

Danielle said...

Oh my. This is a very serious problem. When they grow up, they might get an idea in their little pea-sized brains that they can pick on you! At least, I know geese would pick on me. Good luck holding down the fort from more evil invasions!

The Paw Relations said...

Oooh ducks! Our mum used to keep Indian Runner ducks as pets. We wonder if duck tastes like chicken

Ayla and Iza, said...

We are quite sure there are only 3 of them. Yeah, theres a camera reflection only makin it LOOK like 4. So when Mom looks again tomorrow, and see's 3, she should realize she counted wrong at first...

The Island Cats said...

Holy moly!! How does she expect you to live so closely to those duckies??? So tempting.....

Huffle Mawson said...

Is there a Farmville Intervention group you can contact? This is getting out of hand.

Junior and Orion said...

Sweet baby tomatoes Angus!!!!!!! What in the world is wrong with your Mom? We agree with Huffle, maybe an intervention is necesssary.

The Meezers or Billy said...
