When I was a VERY little girl (about 5 or 6), I had a doll that I loved. She was life-sized – actually, about the same size as ME – and had elastics on her hands & feet so I could dance with her. One day I couldn’t find her. I looked everywhere. I finally looked in the cellar. In one corner my brother had set up his Horror Movie Fan Club, with Silly String as cobwebs, and other things horror. To MY horror, there was my beloved doll: she was hanging from the ceiling on a noose, with fake blood splattered all over her, and a gardening hand-rake stuck in her back. My mother put an end to my brother’s “clubhouse” that day.
I loved model rocketry when I was young! There is no thrill quite like saving up all your money to buy an expensive kit, spending hours meticulously putting it together and painting it, then the glorious launch and the subsequent landing in the top of the neighborhood’s tallest tree. The best 10 seconds of summer!
As a kid, I built my own rockets. Most did nothing. A few blew up on the launch pad. Several actually got airborne. None of them ever made it into orbit.

The National Association of Rocketry would have harsh words for Jason and Marcus.

They are standing way too close to that rocket to launch it.

I know Jason gives Paige a ridiculously hard time but destroying her favorite beanie animal seems cruel even for him.
