Penguin in Peril

Sometimes you just want to enjoy your ice cream cone on the beach, and color with crayons with your rubber ducky, and an obnoxious seagull comes along and disrupts your entire day. Whatever your seagull is, let it go. But don't let it take your ducky. Distract it with your ice cream. Your ducky is more important than ice cream.

Sometimes you have great plans for relaxing and enjoying your day outdoors — you've got your snack, your best friend, your family-friendly beverages, and something fun to do together —

And something comes along to challenge them.

Like an ornery seagull.

It's in times like this that you might feel slightly dismayed.

I don't have any wise words about what to do in this situation, besides:


  Don't panic.



  Remember to breathe.



  You are smarter than the seagull.



  You probably have too much ice cream anyway.



  What would MacGyver do?



  Don't let him steal your rubber ducky.
