"Hey, lady, where's the bread?
"Who us?"
"Don't turn around."
"We're walking over here now. We're not following you"
"I'm too cute to resist."
"Really, we were just looking for the lake."
I was walking around Lake Morton in Lakeland a couple of weekends ago looking for baby swans. As I was walking, these 2 baby ducks walked up to me. I'm sure they wanted to be fed since people are constantly feeding the wild things floating in the water. I said "I don't have anything for you. Go find some bugs." and kept on walking. I happened to look back and realized that they were following me. I stopped and said "I have no food." and tried to ignore them. A few minutes later I looked back and they were still following me. A man, sitting on a bench reading a book, started laughing. I walked by and he said "I think they're going to keep following you." I finally reached a spot around the lake where there a lot of ducks and geese and walked into the middle of them and the baby ducks got lost in the crowd. I snuck away and kept going.
