If your child comes home and announces, "We did duck quacks today," don't worry. Behind the silliness is serious skill-building. And if they ask you to quack back? Go ahead. It's prep free, after all.

The phrase is more than a keyword. It is a promise: that you can sound like a duck without sounding like a mechanic. That you can call in your first bird within minutes of opening the package. That you can leave the tools at home and bring more shells instead.

Before you can "prep," you have to understand that not all quacks are created equal.
