Theodore Roosevelt Ducky

Name: Theodore Roosevelt Ducky

Interests: Drinking Georgia Peach Coke and watching the Emoji movie.
Where to Find: Ducks in the Window in Chatham, Cape Cod (90 minutes from Boston)
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: Not sure. It was a gift from a coworker.

I am in Braintree this week for a technical writing summit for work. I created rubber ducky
name tags for all of my co-workers. Each attendee was assigned a rubber ducky that they got to keep.
They really brightened our meeting room. You can imagine my surprise when I also received a ducky
from a co-worker and learned about a new rubber ducky store. I wish I would have had time to visit
this trip or during my January 2020 trip. Next time for sure.

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States from 1901-1909. Now I'll have to
collect the rest of the Presidents. Obama was my first one. I just received Trump too!

Y'all gotta pick me some of 'em Georgia peaches.


Our duckies for our technical writing summit.

Say no to Bullying Duckies - National Rubber ducky day on Sunday, Jan 13, 2019

Name: Say no to Bullying Duckies
Interests: Being good people and reporting bullying to the principal
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts in Victoria
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $1.50 Each (on sale for 50% off because the store is closing on Friday, Jan 18, 2019)

Make 2019 the year that bullying ends!


I would wager a guess that Junior High School is the year that the most bullying occurs. I was
bullied in grade 8 and my best friend moved away this year too. Bad timing. It wasn’t extreme
and I was able to handle it by just ignoring the perpetrators. It was after all only words and
thankfully not physical bullying, but both can be painful. Hopefully today more people get help
and are able to stop bullying.

I am not sure if the Number 1 student is part of this set, but I didn’t see another bullying duck for sale.
I was at the end of the duckies, so the sets are not complete. The Oriental Trading duckies always
come in sets of 4 or 6. Sets of four are more common.

Have a fabulous National Rubber Ducky Day!
