Actually, in a funny way, it was. :) Before I hit ground it was actually pretty fun soaring through the air. And despite all the pain that came with it, it has become one of my favorite stories to tell people to either make them go "OH!" or "Ha ha!"

It's probably going to be a story I'll tell my children someday.

I totally agree with you on the latter. In my experience I think asking for a kiss is a better idea than just taking one. It's a sure-fire way to know you're not gonna get slapped. Ha ha! :D
