Saturday I had plans to go to go do a little thrifting and then go back to the Ramen place I went to last week. (Because I wanted my Parents to come with us and try it.) It was nice and sunny... so I decided to also dress the part in a vintage yellow cardigan complete with a flower in my hair and in my ears!Just before leaving the first thrift shop I spotted a little fellow that really looked like he wanted to get the heck off of the toy shelf and into a loving home.
So I did just that and bought the rubber duck which I named Murphy. Murphy was a little dirty and looked like he really wanted a bath.
There he sat in my sink getting all soaped up and clean.
He was thrilled I had purchased him brought him home and gave him a nice sudsy bath.
That is when he told me about his past being a street duck & not having a home. He used to eat discarded bread crumbs people would leave him but they usually had some spots of mold.

"He's a flipping HUGE rubber duck"
"He's a flipping HUGE rubber duck"Which is the main reason I needed to bring him home
When I saw him I thought he would be great in a "future" babies nursery.
But until then he is a great story teller. He always has TONS of bath stories!

ReplyDeleteVery sweet and funny.
ReplyDeleteYou weren't joking about Murphy's size either, he's a whopper!
I'd say he was eating more than just a few breadcrumbs out there on those mean streets!
He's amazing!!!! Whats better then a rubber ducky? A giant rubber ducky of course. I love how you use the future kids excuse to buy toys for yourself. Smart lady you are he he.

ReplyDeleteFab duck! I have a Frank-n-Furter duckie.
ReplyDeleteAhh, Murphy was definitely destined to come home with you - he looks slightly crazed, and so are you (in a GOOD way, love, in a GOOD way!)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if all abandoned toys have a sleazy past? Ask the kewpies about their history, I bet they can tell some stories too!
You know Nelly and Desiree will be so happy you are filling up the Future Coconuts' nursery - those babies are coming, I just know it!!!
PS. Yellow cardigan+daisy earrings+hair flower=very cute!

Man I love your duckie! I have a red devil duckie and he has a shorter chubbier pink girlfriend duckie :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, love that last pic. And of course Murphy's cute little towel turban - we're obviously kindred spirits, I never dry my hair properly!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a graffiti rubber duck somewhere, maybe he migrated, I've not seen him for a while...
Bahahahahahahahahaa!!! You've brightened my day no end lovely Moconut and your new BFF, Murphy:))). Feck he's huge!!! No wonder you had to bring him home to a loving Mama and Papa, he just needed some lovin' - oh I love his wee towel turban and if only all rubber duckies would kiss and tell!!! Love you in yellow:))) xoxoxoxox
