So I stopped by my brother's house yesterday and before I could even get in the door, my nephew

caught me and said, Uncle Kirk, come see what I built by myself. It was a KiwiCo plane launcher.

Way cool! He was so excited and proud of himself showing me how he built a launch lever to send plane soaring,

and uh and let your kids listen i promise you if you let your kids listen you will change your
