   When we were kids we used to buy 8 foot weather balloons from Edmonds Scientific and bat them back and forth like a giant volley ball (until they popped by landing on pointy things, like a sprinkler) but I don’t think they would take that kind of weight.

   Google’s new Bard’s answer on where this came from

   The phrase “get your ducks in a row” is an American idiom that means to be well-organized or prepared for something. It is thought to have originated in the late 19th century, and there are a number of theories about its origin.

   One theory is that it comes from the game of bowling, in which a row of pins are knocked down by a ball. The pins are sometimes called “ducks,” and to have all of your ducks in a row would be to have all of your pins in the right position to be knocked down.

   Another theory is that it comes from the practice of shooting at ducks at a fairground attraction. When all of the ducks are lined up in a row, it is easy to shoot them one after another.

   The phrase is thought to have become popular in the early 20th century, and it is now a common idiom used in a variety of contexts.
