Duck Abuse

Ok, I'll admit that I like too chase the ducks and geese in the park to make them quack at me, but this was different. I was just enjoying an afternoon walk through the park when I witnessed a father and son heartwarming event. The father was throwing chips out in the river for the ducks who would then swim/swarm to get them. The son (I'm guessing he was about 11), would torpedo the ducks with pinecones when they got close. I'm not talking a soft lob of a pinecone in their direction either. These ducks were being fully submerged by the force of the pinecones! The father would then exlaim joyfully, "Good one, you got that one good!"

What a great parent.
