I was walking near the pond where the ducks are afloat the other day, when to my surprise several students behind me began talking about the ducks. They originally thought the ducks were real, one student becoming aggressive in his debate that he had really and truly seen head movement. But, after a second glance they all agreed that they were plastic, not beak and feathers. Then they systematically began naming the ducks -- Bob, Dillon, Fred and naturally Sammy -- and commenting on the variety of colors these ducks ranged in. I heard one girl say, "That's a fake blue duck. Where do blue ducks come from?"
Her color comment caused me to wonder even more. Someone has made the decision to put the ducks there, but someone also had to go out and buy these fake ducks. Who chose to buy the blue ducks? There are several traditional, natural-looking fake ducks in the pond, but what's up with the blue ones?
