When you've got two young kids in the house like I do, you end up on the mailing list of every party supply, costume, clothing, toy, bedroom decor, etc. site on the planet! I usually delete most of this stuff without giving it a second thought but with my son's birthday just last week, my eyes strayed upon a blurb the other day in a newsletter from Birthday Express announcing that January 13 is Rubber Ducky's birthday!
I'm a child of the '70's and so grew up with Sesame Street and the Gang and have always had a soft spot in my heart for Rubber Ducky (in fact I have a mini goth rubber ducky replete with skulls and crossbones on my phone) though Cookie Monster is my all-time favorite.
I am sure you all know the song. Sing along, everybody:
Rubber Ducky, you're the one.
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.
Rubber Ducky, joys of joys
When I squeak you, you make noise
Rubber Ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true!
Everyday when I make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who' cute, yellow, and chubby.
(rub-a-dub-a-dubby)
Rubber Ducky you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.

Rubber Ducky I'm awfully fond of...
Rubber Ducky I'd like a whole pond of . . .
Rubber Ducky I'm awfully fond of you.
Happy Birthday, Rubber Ducky!
Love the cupcake -- and the song. : )
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a collection of rubber duckies, some of which are very funny.
Was a wee child in the late 60's and am a better person for having been raised with Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers & the Electric Company.
ReplyDeleteLove to bake cupcakes - you're my hero!
p.s. the goth duck is adorable!!!
I love rubber duckies, and those little yellow frosting swirls with the silver ball in the middle are just so super cute!
