You can if you want, but no, it's a saying. All that stuff-- insults, criticisms-- it runs off you like water off a duck's back. 'Cause ducks can't get wet.

But even so, even if it is their displeasure, it is my responsibility to answer. I would only hope they would sooner take out their frustrations on myself than the young one.
