I Know It Sounds Like a Joke. It's Not.

When I was about 13, my parents and I took a day trip to Sugar Loaf, NY, an arts and crafts village full of artsy-fartsy shops run by aging hippies. After a long day, we headed back to the car. The setting sun was in my eyes, and I was squinting behind my sunglasses.

Suddenly, my mom said, "Kaitlen, duck."

I kept walking.

"Kaitlen, duck!"

I kept walking.

"Kaitlen, duck!"

I walked smack into a low-hanging sign.

"What is wrong with you?" my mom hollered.

"I was looking for the duck!"
