Determined Duck

I went to an event a few weeks ago.

One of the giveaways was this little crocheted duck.

He came with a tiny sign that says,

Waddle with purpose. Success is just around the pond.

Cute.

I threw him in my bag.

When I got home, I set him on my desk.

And that's where things got weird.

Because of the angle of his face...

...he's looking up at me.

Not straight ahead.

Not at my computer.

At me.

Every morning, I sit down at my desk and there he is.

Just...

Looking.

Waiting.

Like,

"Okay...what are we accomplishing today?"

At first I thought it was funny.

Now I catch myself looking back at him.

Like I somehow owe him progress.

I swear I'm trying to make the little duck proud.
