     It's a floating bath toy that lights up when placed in water. It also comes in more conventional rubber ducky form, and I'm expecting a battleship form any day now.
And in honor of the day, what follows is a conversation between my son's wife "Me") and my son, taking place much, much too late at night.

 Me: "Alex, why are you trying to kill the Blinky Peeps?"
Alex: "They're usurpers."
 I blink. I know I'll be sorry I asked. Me: "They're usurpers?"
Alex: "Yes, you see, the mother blinky duck and her babies were being usurped by the upstart Peeps mother and her babies, and she wanted them executed."
 Me: "And you listened to her...because..."
Alex: "Well, she's the daughter of Baby Jane and Jack Mallard (two other rubber ducks of the vast collection), remember? So she has precedence."
 I drain the tub and put both sets of flashing ducks on the toilet lid facing each other, and they stop flashing.Me: "Alex, look, these baby ducks only have their brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts to mate with. If you kill the Peeps, genetic aberrations will set in within a generation or two, and it'll be like the Romanovs all over again."
Alex: "Oh, I see your point. Hybridization will strengthen the clan."
 Me: "Exactly. Now clean up the #* tub before I beat you with the bath mat. And quit running the batteries down on my toys. "
