All I wanted to do...

was fly a friggen kite...

So the other day we were due for a storm and the wind was picking up pretty good - so I thought hummm wind...

Time to go and fly a kite.

Being as I have two 4 year olds we do indeed have kites - they are pink, plastic and full of princesses...

So I gather my girls and my hubby up and outside we go... my hubby did give me the sketchy eyeball as we could see the gathering storm clouds in the horizon...he muttered something about Benjamin Franklin and electrocution.

Pretty soon we have 2 kites up in the air - higher, higher, higher and the girls each want to hold their kite...so we let them and they actually did pretty good...darn good if I do say so

As toothless wonder goes to hand the kite back to me - disaster happens...the kite goes flying from both of our grips...now is the time to mention we live on a street corner and one of the streets is a fairly busy main street, especially at rush hour...

Anyway the kite goes, well flying and gets tangled up in the power lines by the street - so hubby and I look at one another and he says just to leave it...which I probably would have had another gust of wind not knocked it down a bit...but not enough...

So there I am standing on the side of the road while our kite is hanging above the roadway...

and I am just waiting...

waiting for the moment for someone to driveby, look up and have thier last vision be of a trio of Disney Princesses...

I mean how would you explain that to your insurnace company...

"Seriously man I was just driving along and out of nowhere I was attacked by Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella"

Luckly the kite fell into the roadway before it could blind some poor driver and it was subsequently rescued by me.

Long live the princesses
