Running into his workroom at the lab, she said, “Honey, quick, where’s my camera? There’s a duck out here I’ve never seen before.”
He didn’t even look up from his microscope. “Hmmm, probably a Hooded Merganser.”
She said: “It’s red-headed and looks like it has a Mohawk hair-do.”
Still without glancing away from his microscope, he said, “It’s a female.”
She grabbed her camera and ran back outside. Her mad dash to the waterside startled the duck.
She didn’t mean to scare the lady, but isn’t sorry she did.
After the wing flapping show the little lady settled back into the water and swam quickly away.
After capturing her photos She went back into the lab where He was still peering into the microscope.  “The duck put on quite a show for me. I got some great pictures.”
He said, “Nice.”
Sigh. She really does know better than to try to talk to him when He’s working. Would you get excited about the duck, please?!
