R – Raincoat Confusion

R – Raincoat Confusion

Ani: Mumma, why do we wear raincoats?

Mom (smiling): So we don’t get wet when it rains.

Ani (tilting head): Then why don’t ducks wear them?

Mom: Well… ducks like getting wet. They were born for it! It’s difficult for them to survive without being wet.

Ani: But what if a duck has a cold? Shouldn’t it at least wear a tiny scarf?

Mom (chuckling): That would be adorable, but I don’t think ducks shop at malls.

Ani: Maybe they order online? Like “www.dukkystoree.com”? Place the order online like you and will be delivered to them at home. So simple…

Mom (playing along): Ah yes, with express delivery by Pelican.

Ani: And if they order the wrong size, do they return it? I mean will the courier uncle will come to pick up the return parcel?

Mom: Of course. But first, they complain to the manager—probably a grumpy old goose.

Ani (giggling): And what the goose says, “Ok mam our pickup boy will pick up the parcel from your place and hand over the requested size scarf!”

Mom: Exactly! Then the duck waddles out, flapping his wings, saying, “Fine! I’ll stay wet and fabulous till then!”

Ani: When will the rain arrive mumma? I will wear my raincoat and swim with the ducks in the pond.

Mom: I will call the rain department today and update you, honey. Now stop making me laugh so hard before I spit out my tea.

Ani: Just trying to be your funny little duck.

Mom (hugging the child): I love you, my boy.
