Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for December 06, 2022

What exactly is the boy even being taught in school if he doesn’t know what metaphors, analogies, and correlations are?

Tony asked

Where ar your ducks?

In the freezer.

In-a-row!!!

“Why a duck?”

For better or worse my parents strictly regulated television watching for my brother and myself, we didn’t have any video games and the closest we came was playing pin ball. Yeah, I’m old.

I hope it’s not an English test.

Got curious about the saying, and looked it up. There were a lot of explanations, mostly sports related; easy billiard shots, bowling pins all in a line, etc. From what I found though, “ducks in a row” means just that, ducks in an organized pattern, easily managed by mama duck. So ducks, rather than be left out of it, in this case, are the only things that should be in it.

“Who let the Duck out…”

And don’t get me started on similes.

Well Tony I lost them……..they were last seen in the back of a police car quacking up a storm.

We have a son-in-law who has these statements throw him for a loop. Oh, I did it again.

Every time I think I have my ducks in a row, someone adds more.

some ducks have been in a row with chickens for quite a while!
