After weeks of logical debate between 30 year old Brian Douglas, and his 2 year old son, the pair have come to the controversial yet mutual agreement that the boy’s toy Lego duck is in fact a real duck.
Initial reports by the mother suggest the saga began during an evening meal in which the child had brought the lego duck to the table. He insisted the lego duck, which the boy referred to as “Ducky”, needed to eat a portion of the meal. Initially irritated by the nonsense, Brian denied the request which sparked the lengthy yet predictably civil debate.
“At first, I was taken aback and shocked by my two year old son’s inability to discern a toy duck from a real duck,” an embattled Brian stated. “But after finally listening to his broken babble and watching his interactions with Ducky, I began to question my position.”
Over the next several weeks, Brian watched as Ducky ate with the family, joined in bath time, and kept his son company throughout the night. “It was probably only a few days ago when I really started to see clearly,” Brian stated through hazy eyes. “I reached over and helped Ducky to a few bites of my apple crisp while making quacking noises.” Brian’s interaction with Ducky was a welcomed break through for his son who laughed so hard he spit milk across the table. “I didn’t even think about it, I just did it,” Brian reminisced. “And that’s when I finally knew.”
The mother has yet to shake her pessimistic delusion and maintains that Ducky is nothing more than a lego duck in a house of dimwitted males. When pressed on whether or not she would accept the duck into the family, she merely responded with a “is that a serious question?” Then quickly followed up with what has now become her mantra, “That damn duck.”
