Coot Baby

     What did I ever do to you?
     Why did you dress me in this costume? When my daughter looks back on her own styles of clothing and hair, she often asks us why we allowed her to wear these ghastly clothes.
     What is the purpose of this unique feathering for such a little tyke? With its big feet, big bill and very oddly colouring, it has very little resemblance to it's parents.  Is this some kind of a joke pulled on its parents to see if they would actually look after and nurture this baby? What did Dad say when presented to his offspring, freshly sprung from its egg?
     I have many questions when I look at this unique little duckling. There must be a plan.
