Ralph: This is a perfect day for kite flying! Patrick: I don't get it, dad... Why do you always want us to learn to fly a kite? Ralph: Kids today don't realize the importance of kite flying! It's much better than being absorbed in computers and cell phones! It teaches you important things, like aerodynamics and perseverance! When you get that kite in the air and then reel it safely back in, there's a sense of accomplishment! Every kid ought to know how to fly a kite! Patrick: And every adult should know how to download songs to their iPods! Ralph: What for?? I have you guys to do that for me!
