Baptized in duck pheromones
My mother was showing me pictures the other day of me when I was a baby when we came across some of my baptism pictures.
The ceremony was held outside in the church’s garden that over looked a small lake. That in itself seems somewhat odd to me. I always thought these types of services were always done inside the church but what do I know…………..
I picked up this one picture and it seemed to be a little out of focus and you could see a splash of water although I was still in my mother’s arms.
I asked my mom “what is that?” She giggled and said “a duck.” She told me that right before the ceremony a duck had flown up from the lake. She could only assume seeing a group of people standing there the duck figured he’d get a meal out of one of them. Well, the duck flew right into the holy water!!!!!!!
So I asked her, “They did change the water before I was baptized didn’t they?” So mom starts laughing hysterically with this “seems like only yesterday” look on her face and when she finally caught her breath she said “No……..No they didn’t” then starts to laugh again and says “What’s up with you and ducks?”
Geez mom I have no idea so why don’t you do me a favor and fill me in. What is it with me and ducks???
She starts telling me when I was 4 years old we went camping On Lake Okeechobee. My sister and I were feeding the ducks when all of the sudden one bit me!
DUCK PHEROMONES!!!!!!!
That vicious little duck shot me full of duck pheromones when he bit me!
It all makes perfect sense to me now and explains why it seems I can attract a quack from 12 steps away…pardon the pun...........and That is until recently of course.
Between the duck infested holy water and the pheromonial duck bite, I never stood a chance. Not to mention after mom’s little stories I’ll never be able to look at a duck quite the same way again.
What did I learn from all of this? Nothing really, but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.......run like hell.........as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

My mom told me a story a few years ago that when I was little she had gotten me a little yellow rubber duckie for a bath time toy. She said the first time she ever gave it to me I turned around and hurled it right back at her and it hit her square in the eye and gave her a bruise around the eye. We've always thought that was just cute childhood story, but NOW I know the truth. Even as a toddler I was already sick of the "quacking".
