Bingarrays

Aerobies are practically weightless frisbees that look a bit like one of Saturn's rings. They fly practically forever - literally a hundred yards with ease, and into the nearby lake if you're not careful. (Word to the wise... they don't float!) Once you've played with one, it's hard to go back to an ordinary frisbee.

Anyway, having enjoyed our regular Aerobie so much, I bought a triangular Aerobie boomerang on a lark one day. (It works, by the way!) Some time later, Luke (our 5-yr old) noticed it and asked what it was. I told him it was a boomerang. Armed with this knowledge, Luke instantly became an "expert." (I've seen this phenomena with adults too...)

So a few minutes later, Abby (7 yrs old) comes in and exclaimed, "Oh, you have a frisbee!" Luke was ready with an instantaneous scornful reply. "It's not a frisbee, Abby!" he said with words dripping in condescension. "It's a bingarray."
