Unacceptable for Duckies

I've long been listening to NPR as I drive the kids to and from school. I'm not surprised anymore when Ben comments on the news, but lately Rebecca has started listening and commenting too. She especially keeps an ear out for the weather forecast because she is scared of thunderstorms and wants to know when there might be one. Today the weather forecast included a comment about poor air quality, which got Rebecca quite concerned-- "The air is bad! the air is bad!" And then: "The water is bad! the water is bad!" (Despite my assurances that it wasn't). And then: "No! The water is bad! And that is unacceptable for the duckies!" (Which she adorably pronounced "unaccepable"). Unfortunately the forecast also called for thunderstorms, which really threw her into a tizzy: "Thunderstorms! Thunderstorms! AAAHHHH!!!!"
