Just a spoonful of sugar

Girl 1: "I felt like Mary Poppins today on the metro."
Girl 2: "Why?"
Girl 1: "Well, I had my umbrella with the duck on the handle, and I just felt like I wanted to start talking to my duck ... you know, 'I know the weather's not very good today, ducky, if you were a magic umbrella, we could fly off.' ... um, I just took that too far, didn't I?"
Girl 2: "Uhhh...yeah."
