[Dad tells the kids a story about people finding happy moments in bad circumstances, and describes people having rubber duck races in the middle of flooding in China]
Dad: So, sometimes, you have to sort of see the rubber ducky in the situation.
A: But sometimes, the rubber ducky is tied up. And, like, you have to work really hard to get to it, and then work really hard because it's tied up.
Me: Do you sometimes find it hard to get happy about something?
A: Yes, but I can work hard to unleash the ducky!!
["Unleash the ducky" has become a new synonym for "look on the bright side" in our house]
