Lonesome duck

Lonesome Duck.

Overheard at the Capitol Reflection Pool:

Father: “See those ducks?”
Kid: “Yeah.”
Father: “We’re gonna ride them later.”
Kid: “Cool!”
Father: “And see that castle-looking building over there? Know what they call it?”
Kid: “No. What?”
Father: “The Castle.”
Kid: “…”

And that’s when I completely cracked up.

    I love D.C.
    In NYC, the kid would have responded, “Seriously? The fuck, Dad….”

    Or worse, “TRUMP Castle?!”

    The dad’s ride-the-ducks comment cannot be beat.

    This little guy’s bordering on Epic Tragic Hero Duck.

    He does seem a rather Tragically Sad Duck.

    That exchange is hilarious.
