the age old problem

i said, "are you sure you don't want to fly that in a field?"

he said, "naw, it'll be ok."

his ever faithful mother is standing ready to retrieve

aircraft gone awry 

he goes up

he comes down empty handed

meanwhile, brother is launching

they discuss their options

the brothers came with two flying toys

and will leave with one

their saintly mother

smiles

knowing what matters

(a lesson for the grammy)

one aircraft snuggly lodged in the evergreen

but two boys

still smiling

waiting for dad or the wind
