What Goes Up Must Come Down
What Goes Up Must Come Down
Up, up, and away the Marvel Comics Super Hero chants as
brother and sister watching squeal in delight!
The boy jumps up, pillow case laying across his back and tied at the neck
for a cape and starts mimicking flying as he races around the living room.
He screams...look at me...look at me, I can fly... Zroom!...Zroom!...
His older sister at the wise age of 8 laughs and starts teasing him. No you
can't fly you're too dumb!...dumb!...dumb!...The innocent games children play.
The boy yells back, oh yes I can...Zroom!...Zroom!...No you can't!...Yes I can!...
Then fly for real you big stupid head!...The boy now close to tears runs into
the backyard screaming, " I'll show you I can fly!" and runs out the door.
A couple of minutes pass and the girl hears her brother yelling for her to come
outside and see for herself. Curious she heads out back and hears "Up here Dummy!"
Then he jumps off of the roof, arms spread out, pillow case cape out just like
Superman. Well almost like Superman instead he fell face first into the ground!
He landed screaming...My leg!...My Leg!...
You see what goes up must come down, a valuable lesson learned
that day and luckily the little boy only broke one of his legs.
