I laughed so hard food flew right on to my computer screen! Even if they didn't speak English, they could have communicated that to you. Their behavior was just rude, and very un-mom like. Oh well, it was most certainly their loss. Great kites, I hope to try them with my boys! I was reading your post and the comments while having my breakfast… big mistake!

They get embarassed. <br /><br />I love these kites! We made the same ones a month or so ago... I found them on ordinary life magic. The bamboo skewer really does the trick. The girls are still flying them. They like to run too :) <br /><br />Your mom's group will love them, even if the playground moms didn't ;)!!! Have a great day!

I think you're right, some people are just weird... their loss though! We had a ton of fun with this!<br /><br />@ Bobbi -- I remember making kites when I was a kid, and it was one of my favorite things to do for Spring! I bet the kids had a great time!<br /><br />@ Sarah -- Thanks so much! The nice thing about this kite design is that if some part of it breaks, it is soooo simple (and inexpensive) to fix! A pack of 100 bamboo skewers only cost about $1, and you can't beat that. @ jennwa — Thanks for stopping by and for hosting the Friday Showcase!

I was trying to think of how to make kites last week with my kids. I used to make them in Girl Scouts and couldn't remember. Then I watched the last part of Mary Poppins to examine the kids. haha. I wish I saw this last week! This is cool! I was trying to think of how to make kites last week with my kids. I used to make them in Girl Scouts and couldn’t remember.
