Ducks

While watching two drakes battle it out over a duck and nearly drowning her in the process (the irony is not lost on me), C2 asked: "Why are they doing that?"

Me: "The boy ducks are fighting over who is going to mate with the girl duck. Sometimes that's how nature works."

C2: "That seems kind of silly. They could just do eeny meeny miney mo. Or bubble gum, bubble gum. Or measure to see who is taller. Or whose wings are bigger. Something!"
