What the Duck!
Bobby sat at the riverbank looking at her phone when she grabbed a nearby duckling and popped it between two slices of bread.
Angelina watched in horror as Bobby started to bite down on the quacking sandwich. “What’re you doing!?!?”
To the duckling’s relief, she pull the sandwich out and said, “Research for Carrot Ranch’s writing challenge.”
Angelina shot her a confused look…
See it says, “Write a story explaining why you ate baby ducks for lunch.”
“Ummm, no Bobby, it says ‘…explain baby ducks ate my lunch.’ You really need new strategies to keep your dyslexia in check!”
Disclaimer: No ducks or ducklings were harmed during the writing of this ridiculous piece of fiction.
