    Default Make me a cid's kite

    Do people fly kites anymore? I tried to make a kite once and it failed miserably, Has anyone made an eoff based kite? Any fond/traumatising memories related to kite flying? Were box kites really originally designed as a means of drying wet string?
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    I won a "build your own kite" kit from some function in elementary school. I was six years old and tried to build it with no parental supervision, it did not end favorably. Of course, I'm almost twenty-three now and can't build anything without someone holding the directions, handing me parts, and lovingly calling me a retard for attaching things to the wrong side. 8-)

    My kites always sink to the ground. Gravity can suck it.

    I've never successfully flown a kite, I think. Now I want to try again! I bet my doggies would love it!

    I remember flying a kite as a kid, but that's the only time I can remember right now. It didn't work well since there really wasn't any wind that day.

    It's been a while since I've flown a kite. I think I have one on top of my cupboard.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I flew one in college. :</>D

    I remember when I was about 5 these people were making kites and they offered one to me. My parents made me refuse it though because they were like "There is no such thing as a free lunch!" I was sad

    It was shaped like an eagle and its beak
    was made out of polystyrene
    There were feathers and talons
    It didn’t fly too good, one day my cousin and I
    were flying it in the field
    It crashed into a tree and stayed there

    I saw somebody flying a parachute. The small kind you use with a wakeboard for self-propelled fun.

    The wind picked up and launched the two of them into a tree.

    Still, I would do it myself if I had one.
