Does He Walk Like A Duck?

Yesterday I met Sam. He's 3 (and a half, he'll tell you) and belongs to one of the lawyers here in my office.

As he was walking down the hallway I stopped and introduced myself, asking what was in the basket he was carrying. "A duck, " he told me seriously. "His name is Sam."

I was told, when I asked how to tell the difference between boy Sam and duck Sam, that duck Sam wears feathers and boy Sam wears a Batman shirt.

"What if boy Sam wore feathers too? Then how would you tell?" I asked. This proved too much for Sam, who got kind of worried for a moment, then loudly answered back "Quack!"

I'm not sure Sam's mother was amused at how easily I could convince her kid he might be a duck.
