This is Mama duck. I think it was one of the first toys we got before we had Henry. You can see three little circles on her back that can hold three little baby ducks. It's pretty cute. Mama duck has a problem though. She easily sucks up water but it is impossible to get it out of her, so she gets all moldy and gross. The mold finally got out, but the bleach remained. It would occasionally drip out and ruin whatever it happened to drip on. I had thought about throwing her away several times and very nearly did. I decided to make one last life saving attempt. I decided to try a tracheotomy. One large nail through the throat, a wiggle around, and I was able to squeeze all of the bleach out of her (after a million squeezes). Mama duck has been saved! Hooray!
