The mama duck and ducklings in the Public Gardens are based on a duck family in a children's book, Make Way for Ducklings. They are beloved and much-photographed symbols of Boston, and depending on the time of year, the imminent holidays or sports championship du jour, they might be ducked-er, decked out in mini versions of Celtics jerseys, Red Sox regalia, Christmas wear or Easter bonnets, patriotic colors or even winter jackets to keep the cold away.
Like all the kids and children at heart, I adore them, and passing them today gave me a much-needed reason to smile.
I will assume that "Gronking" is Superbowl-related.
