I wish I could be more like a duck. Duck feathers have a multi-layered structure which is very hydrophobic – in other words, water rolls off a duck’s back like yesterday’s worries.
Something extraordinary must have taken place; he looks to me as if he were in imminent danger of serious apoplexy. The lower part of his face is composed enough, but the upper part is drawn and distorted. Then there is that peculiar look about the eyes that indicates an effusion of serum in the brain.
Quotation from Honoré de Balzac, Old Goriot
The “rubber and glue” thing, when I was a tiny kid, had “What you say” before “bounces off me.” You said it after someone called you a name.
Sometimes I’d really like to be the “rubber”/”duck” type – but not in the sense of being a rubber-duckie!
Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if you are hatched from a swan’s egg.
Hans Christan Anderson
and swan feathers have the same properties
Well, I come out of The Midwest where there was “Denise and Denephew”. In my older siblings generation there was “See ya later, alligator”, then: “Afterwhile crocodile” (now that 50′s song is stuck in my head). Now I’m wondering. Could this be limited to The Midwest? ;->
glue holds things together. that’s not a bad thing.
Would this be a variation on Scissors, paper, stone?
Nice :~)
water makes my hair curly…:)
You will just have to try and develop a non stick phychological armor coating – to avoid going from one frying pan into another- to avoid scratchy surfaces or hard bouncing balls. Best wishes.
Maybe you can coat yourself with Teflon! Nothing is supposed to stick to it – even fried eggs – Great work on this!
You are the best Sera!
Many kisses from me
I don’t want to be glue. Although I wouldn’t mind being waterproof and stronger.
Rubber never gets hugged and kissed either.
