Sentimental Journey

[the Robot Vegetable]

	I had a toy car, maybe 6 inches long, plastic, wind it
up and let it go!   The front bumper was a button that caused
the car to FLY APART!!  Wheee!!!  
	Those water rockets were great!  On a related note, in
my big Illinois back yard one day I borrowed my mom's bets 
scissors to weight the little parachute I made.  I hurled it
into the sky!  It unfurled and caught a breeze.  It left the area,
still climbing.
	Then, a few years later during recess, we were flying
paper airplanes.  I threw mine up!  20 minutes later the bell rang.
I looked up at my circling airplane, made a face, complained that
I should wait until it fell.  No dice.
