The Kite
13 October, 2004
Author: Ben Laney
If you do not wish
for your sweet little child
to suffer trauma
and experience childhood fright
Then do not allow
your sweet little child
to watch as you tie the kite string
around the teddy bear's arm
and proceed to let go of the kite
------- Author's Notes -------
"Hey, Teddy Bear, have a nice flight! If you make it to China, say hello to the Panda Bears for me. Bye bye Teddy Bear.......Bye bye!" Okay, okay that was a silly thing to do, but you parents out there can learn from my mistakes, right? Oh, don't learn the hard way like me and traumatize your sweet little child for life! Haaa! Haaaa! Haaaaa! Keep those cards and e-mails coming! |

| Clive (67.42.141.76) -- Wednesday, October 13 2004, 08:18 pm Hi Ben, this was a good light hearted read, I remember way back then, when growing up was hard to do, I remember way back then learning from everything I do, Not much has changed, |
| Ben Laney (68.127.173.253) -- Wednesday, October 13 2004, 08:40 pm Clive, you are right, growing up is sooooo hard to do. I suppose that is the reason I avoid it with ALL my might! Haa! Haaa! Haaaa! Of course, that's also why I am constantly in TROUBLE, too. I thank you very much for your feedback, I am glad to found it light hearted, and I like the title of your comment as well, "A Smile That Glows." I appreciate it a lot! Kind Regards, Ben |

| Ben Laney (63.194.136.161) -- Wednesday, October 20 2004, 11:07 pm Barb, I have a mind like a steel collander, a lot of stuff just goes right through and keeps going to God knows where! Haaa! Haaaa! Haaaa! Want to know a secret, though? (Don't tell ANYONE, OK?) I am still the BIG brother and continue to BUG my younger siblings at every turn, so I'll have new things to laugh about! I thank you very much, girl, for your comment. I really am glad you like this one and think of it as a good thought. Best Regards, Ben |
