My daughter will be the next t.s. elliot

So Lizzy decides that Jason needs a story read to him. She pulls out the classic animal story "The Ugly Duckling", sits down next to Jason -- who is absolutely enraptured of course -- opens the book to the middle and begins to "read":

"Hello Ducky the duck"
*turns page*
"Hello Ducky the duck"
*turns page*
"Hello Ducky the duck....TREE!"
*turns page*
"Hello Ducky the duck"

So yeah, if you thought that "The Ugly Duckling" was a story about an ugly child improbably growing up to be a beautiful swan, that story has now been deconstructed by my daughter to be about the greeting a a duck, whose name is Ducky.

I'm so proud!
