You know those machines where you have to navigate a metal claw to win your prize? They were always impossible.... but when my son was young, we found one at a local movie theater that was easy peasy and full of little rubber ducks. Every time we we went there we never left with less than 10 ducks. We were obsessed. My sister knew of our obsession and started sending us rubber ducks for just about every occasion, so you can imagine the collection of little rubber ducks we acquired. When my son was 11 we took a road trip cross country... just the two of us. Before we hit the road, we each grabbed our favorite duck to travel along as our mascots. Those little ducks had an amazing adventure.
