“Mommy, let’s make a crap.”
Posted by Gia Lyons on March 17, 2008
Last night, my daughter asked my husband, Chris, and I to help her “make a crap.” She was holding colored paper (we used to call it construction paper back in my day), her safety scissors, and some purple yarn.
Ah, a craft!
Chris and I had just had a celebratory dram of Jameson’s, so we had a bit of fun…
Chris: “How about we make a family crap?”
Her: “Yeah!… What do I do for the fam’ly crap?”
Me: “Eat more fiber.”
Chris (suppressing giggles): “You can thread this yarn through the holes I made in this paper.”
Her: “Ok!…” (threading yarn for a bit)… “Now, I’m going to cut this.” (picks up her safety scissors)
Chris: “You’re going to cut the crap? Great idea!”
And so it went for about 30 minutes.
We ended up ditching the yarn, and instead built this Kite Store:

Frank, yes, I know! Almost on par with your kitties!
Debbie, it was my pleasure! I wish all my customers were like you. :)

I’m an origami fan and paper airplanes is one of my favorite forms of the art. It challenges not just your folding skills but also teaches you about aerodynamics. I remember a software called “The Greatest Paper Airplanes”. It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes step by step with instructions and videos. Too bad the software is no longer distributed but there’s a website that teaches how to fold those 50 paper airplanes.
