Henry loves ducks and "gooses". His latest favorite activity is paging through Scott's Water Fowl magazine. First thing in the morning we sit on our bed, have juice and look at the ducks. This of course brings on the quacking. Henry is not a quiet "quacker" either. Every other animal sound is at a tolerable level, but not the duck. The quack reaches a whole new decibel level. He has often scared fellow shoppers at Old Navy when he sees the big yellow duck in the window. (My apologies if you are one of them!)
The funniest part of all of this is that Henry knows the difference between a goose and a duck, however, both say "quack". We have tried non-stop to get him the "honk" for a goose, but no luck.
The other day Henry was sitting by the table for snack time "talking" on his cell phone. As I walked through the kitchen he revealed that he was talking to Goose and then said "Honk, honk, honk!" I looked at him and said "What?" Oops, he was caught! "Quack Quack" he quickly responded.
We had suspected he was attempting to fool us, and now we knew for sure!
Yesterday was another interesting turn in this activity. Scott took Henry to Great Grandma's after church. Henry showed off all of his words and animal sounds. Then came the duck and the goose. Scott asked him to do each one and was answered with a QUACK for both. Scott's Uncle Tom asked Henry what a goose says and was answered with a Honk. They tried this exchange a few times and it had the same results every time!
