Picture of the Night: Bad mother?

Question

Sent to me by Eddy

These ducklings had to be rescued, there is one lucky guy though

The eight ducklings, who were less than a week old, were pulled from the sewers in Hexham Way, near to the Rea Brook, by RSPCA officers yesterday.

Let's see what you come up with, both English and Spanish, no subject pronouns!

jejej, no consigue dormir lo suficiente - 00494d19, MAY 21, 2010

Answer 2

Esto es lo que sucede cuando están colocados por ¨Quáck¨

This is what happens when they are high on ¨Quack¨

sorry, selwich, makes no sense in spanish, don't know in english, - 00494d19, MAY 21, 2010

I guess he means the drug crack, said with a speech impediment, which sounds like quack, the English word for the sound made by a duck (graznido?) - Richard-Thomas, MAY 21, 2010

That is what he meant. In English, we say a duck sound is "Quack"--which sounds like "crack"...except quack is "cwack." It's very funny! Good one, Selwich! - 004e13c4, MAY 21, 2010

oh. I see, well, makes no sense, sorry - 00494d19, MAY 21, 2010

Good one, Selwich. - --Mariana--, MAY 21, 2010

Makes sense in English... Not so much in Spanish though - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, MAY 21, 2010

I think that Spanish might be "cuac" and not "quack" - Izanoni1, MAY 21, 2010

very good - fontanero, MAY 22, 2010

Answer 7

Oh my God!. My family has missed several regulars. I think I will be more careful next time and I will mind my step. Hey guys!!. Are all of you ok?. Don´t worry mommy is looking for a string to rescue you.

Oh Dios Mío!. Mi familia ha tenido varias bajas. Creo que seré más cuidadosa la próxima vez y miraré por donde piso. Ey chicos!!. ¿Estáis todos bien?. No os preocupéis, mami va a buscar una cuerda para recataros.

'My family has suffered some casualties' or 'My family is missing some members' are possibly better? Also, probably a rope not string although ducklings ARE very light!! :) - galsally, MAY 22, 2010
