Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 08, 2019

Since when would you say “please” to a kite?

He forgot to bring matches or scissors

Alla-kazam?!

Thanks for the laugh, Mr. Tatulli.

Ooo, string burn!! Not as bad as a paper cut, tho.

I was the only kid who couldn’t get a kite to fly.

Serious kites today can use Kevlar or Spectra line fiber. Gloves should be mandatory, not optional. Lio would approve but it can be a blood sport if you’re not careful.

“and no matter what you do, DO NOT fly me near any kite-eating trees!”

Okay, Simon says ‘fly’!

Klaatu Narata…N…

Necktie…Nectar…Nickel…Noodle…

Klaatu…Narata…NGHGHRHR!

Kites should be seen and not heard.

We used a fishing pole and reel. Several hundred feet of fishing line could really get a kite up there.

There are no trees around.

He never says the magic word. Usually neither do others…

I used to take my Mom for walks in Vanier Park, Vancouver where we’d often watch Ray Bethell practice…

I cannot deal with a kite that talks back at me! Where’s my 40mm ack-ack gun?!

Won’t cooperate? Charlie Brown is waiting in the wings…
