    My first reading is what will stay with me. Of course, I got “when ducks cry”, but I also thought that “malaprop” might be “what it sounds like when ducks cry”.

    I can go for that.

    I had the same reaction, Sheila.

    In my mind’s ear I will hear “malaprop” the next time I see a disconsolate duck.
