As I was on my way to work, I spotted a duck and a string of trailing ducklings crossing the road at a busy intersection, probably headed for the nearby park. Using the crosswalk.

Just as I was about to believe Mama had figured out the safest place to cross, she reached the other side ahead of the light... and then disproved any intelligence by avoiding the sidewalk and parading down the center of the right lane, forcing a car approaching from behind to slow down and change lanes.

That's about when I got the green, so I didn't see what happened to them after that, but I hope they made it okay.
