This Is What It Sounds Like When Ducks Die

My son, who's almost two years old, loves ducks and because he's incredibly spoiled he has had a ton of ducks given to him. There are rubber ducks, stuffed animal ducks, duck pajamas, you name it. About a year agao my parents bought him a platypus-looking duck that shakes and sings a little duck song when you press its stomach. Tonight while watching the Sopranos rerun from Sunday, this platypus-duck thing starts its song from the other room...where no one is anywhere near it. About half-way through the song it slowed down and just stopped. So, tonight another duck bites the dust.
