How to make a paper airplane (and a 4 yr old boy happy).






W was pissed yesterday when I couldn't remember how to make a paper airplane as stellar as his Grandpa By did a while back (and to be accurate, Grandpa By sat in a Barcalounger and crafted nearly 50 of these paper airplanes during an hour's time so that W could fly to his heart's content). I just needed to make one. I have a masters degree in engineering. It does me no good.

I fumbled for five minutes and finally turned to Google. "How to make a paper airplane" I typed in. What came up saved our afternoon (an anfternoon couped up inside the sick house). Check out this cool explanation: it really did produce a fantastic paper airplane. W danced around the room when he saw how well it flew. "That one was supposed to go to Denver airport but it landed in Portland!" he exclaimed.
