About when i was 6 or 7 i was flipping through one of those zoo magazines on specific animals on butterflies and saw this little girl in a sleeping bag and then a picture of her out of it and with really pretty makeshift butterfly wings. Now when i was that old i was fascinated by how birds and butterflies could fly and i desperatly wanted to, but never could figiure out how. When i saw this article i got the little light bulb over my head.
I took my sleeping bag and set it just right for when i was ready. I then took two pink towels and somehow fastened them to my arms and legs so that they spread with you spread your arms! I carefully got in the sleeping bag, stayed there for about 20 minutes then got out, went outside and stood on the railing of my porch and jumped.
Lets just say i didnt try it again.
