“See Teddy fly” was a game my uncles used to play with my kid brother. The goal was to scoop him up, carry him to the end of the dock, and swing him once, twice, three times, and then release him over the water. Would he fly when released? Ted was pretty sure he already knew the answer to that question and so the game really became one of teasing threats, laughter, and pursuit.
