The girls slept much later than usual today.  I assume that was due to the colds they have been fighting (or would that just be, "the cold they have been fighting," since it is the same cold?  Anyway...).  I didn't know what to do with myself because I didn't want to make too much noise cleaning, thinking they probably need the rest to get well.
    That wasn't the strange part.  When Baby Duck finally woke up, she told me that she was just going to stay in bed all day.  Hmm.  I didn't think that would last long.  About ten minutes later, she politely asked me to bring her some breakfast.  Curious to see how long this would last, I obliged.  After she finished her yogurt, she asked me what people do when they stay in bed all day.  I told her I like to read books.  She was concerned that she didn't have any books at hand, so I offered to go get her a few.  As it stands right now, she is still in bed reading.  I chose carefully, selecting a couple of easy readers to challenge her to actually read the books as well as an 'I Spy' book for her too look at so she wouldn't get too frustrated.  
    And what has Ladybug been doing all this time, you may ask?  Well, she stripped completely bare naked proudly and urgently.  She still will not tell me why.
