Our Life as Ducks

Esther's friend from high school, Tamara, gave us these adorable little ducks for a wedding present. She had been teaching in Korea, and these are a traditional Korean wedding gift. The one with the red bill represents the bride, while the greenbilled guy stands in for the groom.
Korean couples will display ducks like these in their homes. When they face each other like above, it means that all is well in the home and marriage. If the wife wants to let her husband know without words that she is unhappy--or if it is that time of month--she turns the redbilled duck so that she is facing away from her mate.

We decided that since these ducks represent us, and we were recently injured in a car crash, we would dress them up in bandages too. As you can see below, Esther's duck has hurt her arm, and poor Mark bumped his head.
