"that's why we make things out of crap"

we went to a local store recently with the kids. you know spring is in the air and there are sales a plenty on outdoor items. one display we stopped at was for kites, all different kinds. my daughter picked one out that is something i haven't seen before. instead of the usual sticks that are used to hold the kite in place, the kite was inflatable where the sticks would go. that was pretty interesting (they cost about $5 each) so we picked a couple out and took them home. of course we were all excited to see what this new kite situation was all about so we opened it up right away and set the thing up. so my girl is throwing it in the air and catching it, throwing it to she-la and watching her run. i turn away to start setting my boy up with his drink and dad goes potty and all of a sudden... POP!!! my girl had decided it would be neat to jump on the inflated part and smile while saying, "popped it!" Dad, having heard the pop, gives some sound information, "see, that's why we make things out of crap we find around the house." lmao...rotfl...it was just fantastic how quickly the point of paying for stuff we could build better was pointless. the kite is sadly out of commision, but now my girl has a neat wall decoration for the play room!
