What a sweet little story. :) I enjoyed this window into your childhood experience. Your impatience and your joy—classic kid stuff. And it brought back memories of flying kites myself...memories I hadn't realized were there. Even now, I'm picturing the big field next to my elementary school, where I went one day with my dad (or possibly both parents; I can't remember now) and wound up spending half the time talking with a classmate who showed up, too, instead of flying the kite.
Another memory of a kite, yellow and blue and pink, flying high in the sky on a beach by the ocean or one of the big lakes where we used to go on vacation. Bright sunlight in a hot blue sky. And now I want to go and find one of those simple kites to try it all again. :)
I am so glad this story brought back so many pleasant memories. It's been fun to recall these times and writing about them. They are universal stories. Thank you for your comments about this story, Theresa.

There’s something very special about taking little mental trips back to those simpler times.
What wonderful experiences.
I love this. I can imagine you and your Dad.
