My sister's kid was saying how he wanted to fly a kite. Thinking I remembered the fun I had with my dad and friends doing the same thing when I was like 7 or 8 I offered to take the little wanker out and give it a try. We did it last Saturday.

Fuck, was it ever boring!!!

What was I thinking? I guess things change.
 
I think this is where we say we change as adults. I think how did I stand going cross country skiing as a child for 4 to 5 hours at a time or getting drenched in the snow and how now I dread winter and cannot wait to get back home inside where it is warm. Plus to top that off I came from up North where it is colder than here.
 
I remember spending hours on the swing in the backyard or at the park as a little kid too, now about 2 minutes on one makes me want to puke. Hell, the first couple times I took my daughter to the park and just pushed her in the baby swing it made me queasy!
 
Remember the great old swings with the large chain supports. Before all the safety craze kicked in you could get you fingers caught in the links by mistake, boy did it pinch when you came back down.

Every day all summer I saw people flying kites on the beach, they were all adults using giant hi tech designs that cost a fortune.
I've never seen a kid fly one in the last 30 years.
 
I liked making kites but the fun was short lived when I was flying them.
I even went so far as to buy a nice big kite. Fun lasted one hour and never used it again. When I was a child, kites were popular or something because most corner stores used to sell them.

I still find those large two handed kites kind of cool. You can do loops and stuff. I said kind of cool, it's not really that cool. LOL If my niece wants to fly one, then I'll act like it's the coolest thing in the entire world.
