a cute vignette

I was walking downtown on Monday and noticed a businesswoman in the process of taking a picture with her cellphone.  I glanced to see what I presumed to be her friend or relative being photographed, only to find a duck and seven fuzzy little ducklings somewhat nervously waddling on a driveway.  I stopped to look at them, and the lady excitedly said that she watched these eight walk across the busy road, and that crazy-driving-Montrealers actually stopped to let the ducks cross.  I think the mama duck wanted to take her babies from the ponds on campus elsewhere, but she took a wrong turn somewhere.  It happens to the best of us, I guess.
