Average Boy Answers Your Questions!
Dear Average Boy,
Have you ever tried to fly a kite? Every time I try, the brand new kite ends up in shreds somewhere in a tree, and I have to chase it for miles. Has that ever happened to you? And by the way, since you said you were much better at kickball than softball, I was wondering if you ever played soccer.

Hey Megan,
Wow. That is a problem. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a running tree with a shredded kite in it before — much less anyone chasing it. I did try to fly a kite once, but I could never run fast enough to make the kite go up in the air. The kite just drug behind me as if to say: “Ouch! Gravel Burns! What are you doing? Why don’t you give me to a running tree!” It didn’t actually say that, but I’ll bet that’s what it was thinking.
Oh, and I’m a great soccer player! Well, I’m not good at the running part or the kicking part, and I’ve never scored a basket-goal-point-thing — but other than that, I’m a great soccer player. Anyway, I’m off to see if any of the trees in my yard want to play tag.
Your friend and mine,
Average Boy
