The Backwards Duck

I’m not sure what was up with Troy today. After his customary shower, he was walking around in nothing but a diaper, and he leaned down put his hands behind his knees and started walking around like that. Hunched over, sort of waddling like a duck. I didn’t want him to feel bad for being weird, so I started walking around behind him doing it too. And that’s how my wife caught us, duck walking through the room, one behind the other.

Later on, while he was waiting for dinner to get ready, Troy started walking through the kitchen backwards! When he’d bump into something, he’d change direction and keep going. Again, I followed suit so he wouldn’t feel alone.

Now, all he needs is to combine them into the backwards duck! He’s a strange child, and I love him for that. I’m just not sure why he was acting stranger than normal tonight.
