The title of this post is misleading as I am not purging a beloved children's book. In reality, I am purging a duck-shaped bath mitten. Calling this mitten "ugly" is also a misnomer as what I actually mean is "terrifying." Now, I like ducks as much as the next person. In fact, I might actually like ducks more than the next person. (In college I raised 17 ducklings for a science project.) What's more, I think every baby's bath time should be duck-centric. Rubber duckies, ducky towels and ducky washcloths are all highly acceptable bath accessories for infants. However, I draw the line at a ducky mitten that looks like you might find it standing over you in the middle of the night with a knife in its paw (wing?). I would never put this mitten on my hand and use it to entertain my son unless I wanted him to develop a fear of ducks for the rest of his life....which I don't because ducks are lovely creatures.
Heeeere's Ducky! (see how he just popped out from behind the wall? He's out of control.)
Bye-bye Birdie!
