I tell people that It requires genuflecting.
[b]gen·u·flect (verb)
1. To bend the knee or touch one knee to the floor or ground, as in worship.
2. To be servilely respectful or deferential; grovel.
Entering is not as problematic as exiting.

Thanks for the "rubber duckie," Frederick!
I ground those little suckers off and glued the critter up, as you can see.
Now maybe you could send one to Gina, but please include a little sign which says: "Never Mind!"

On a less serious note, us birdwatchers are trained to look UP when someone yells "Duck!!"
Maybe a visual reminder would work....

My wife donated this little lady for the trailer. I think she'll get the place of honour over the door.

Oh,Oh,
She who blows smoke is also a mother duck followed by ducklings? The plot appears to thicken

Kent,
The concept was Frederick's, but your wife is getting close to the prize for one-upsmanship! Her duck is very cute! Did she make it?

My duck isn't doing solo duty. I also have a pool noodle covered in curtain material mounted on a dowel over the door. If I don't understand the Duck, the blow will still be cushioned.

You could mount it on your head and then you would be protected no matter where you go!

I find that leaving the bloodstain from the last head injury makes a good warning statement too. But the duck is sooo much better!!

Kinda reminds me of those signs, etc. in parking garages that say something about height being ???? when I drive my truck into those things, I feel like my eyebrows are about to be scrapped off. I have never bumped my head entering or leaving my Scamp but seems like it happens everytime when I'm visiting friends that own Casitas! Hey, whatever works! I'm into cheap and easy..... maybe something that hangs down a bit???

Red Yarn
The Casita 16 we used last year was shorter than the Scamp and there was a tendency to bang one's head all over the place. As a solution Ginny hung a single piece of red yarn from key spots, the outside door, the vent handle and the bathroom doorway.
Though I never consciously see the yarn it seems to provide some kind of subconscious warning.
I will agree that the Casita's doorway seems to be a lot more head prone than the Scamp's. I think, though can not verify today, that the Scamp's door is cut further back into the floor, encouraging one to step down more quickly in the process avoiding the top of the doorway.

With some of the "witty" comments, I think you are either quacking up or going quackers.
