Getting all of your ducks in a row on a Monday morning is not easy.

Exhibit A: These ducklings. Discovered by DCist regular Art Drauglis near the Department of Labor building in downtown D.C. late last week, this crew of more than a dozen ducklings seems to have an easy task at hand: hopping over the curb to meet their mom.

But more than five minutes of adorable bouncing later, only a few of the siblings have succeeded.

Ducklings, we are not so different after all.
