This is my dear YYF Skyline. This was my favourite yo-yo for years. They don’t make them anymore. It was in mint condition, it was perfect.
Enter my 5 year old nephew…
My nephew loves yo-yos. He does tech string tricks; he just needs to add a sleeper to them.
He asked me to see my Skyline. I said ‘of course!’.
I should have known better.
He tries to throw a sleeper, outside, on ashphalt.
The string is as tall as he is.
My Skyline smashes right into the ashphalt, bounces again, and again, and again, and rolls some more.
My nephew looks at me, in sheer horror and guilt.
I look at my nephew.
All I say is, ‘It’s ok buddy, I love ya so much’
That’s when I learned that there are more important things than keeping your yo-yo in mint condition.
After a few years, the Skyline is no longer my favourite yo-yo.
But he is still my favourite nephew.
The End.
