We recently watched the new Captain America and I was enthralled. I mean that movie held my attention like none other. I tend to be a multi-tasker while watching movies, so the fact that I spent the entire 136 minutes glued to the TV is really saying something.
I’m not going to bust the plot for those of you who haven’t seen the movie (a problem that you should probably consider fixing in the very near future), but I am going to introduce you to a character named Falcon. At first you think he’s just an ordinary pilot, but then you find out that he doesn’t fly planes, he actually flies. Like himself. The moment they reveal his wings is one of those wide-eyed childhood moments of disbelief and awe in which you whisper “I have GOT to get me one of those.” And just like a kid, the wheels started turning as I began to come up with…
5 Things I Would Do With a Set of Those Awesome Wings
- Fly to visit friends and family who live far away. Many of the people I love live far outside a day-trip visit. These people are dear to me and I miss them a great deal. A set of wings would allow me to visit them more often. Bear hugs, laughter, and comfort would be only a short (and fun) flight away.
- Fly to Disney World whenever I want. Because Disney World is awesome, but it currently requires 4 days of travel just to get there. Flying means I would need to take less time off of work and would give me more time to play. Once again, you’re getting a glimpse of my childlike nature.
- Set up a business and charge a fee for personal flights. People pay mad money to go skydiving and ride hot air balloons. I know I could make a living by offering premium flying packages. Perfect for birthdays, graduations, retirements, anniversaries, or any other special celebration :)
- Meet Iron Man. Because he’s the bomb. I think having wings would make me intriguing enough to peak his interest. I’d warrant a visit from my favorite super hero: Tony Stark.
- Save the world. Because wings would make me a super hero and that’s just what super heroes do.
This list is just the tip of the iceberg. Think about it, guys!
What would you do with a set of wings?

I love watching Super Hero films, but haven’t yet watched the Captain America film. I too would visit friends and family who live too far away to visit often. I would also like to take an early morning flap across the fields and olive groves just as the sun is catching the dew on the cobwebs that have been freshly spun through the night by busy spiders.
I would also rent myself out as an over sized tooth fairy, keeping the magic alive by flapping through bedroom windows that have been left open just for me and swapping lost teeth for a Euro and a sprinkle of fairy dust!
A fun post and I found you on #SHINEbloghop.

What a great endorsement for the film. I just told my hubby we must watch this film after reading your post. What would I do with a pair of wings? I would like them to be very big wings, I mean HUGE wings. Then I could gather everyone I love in one place and wrap them in my wings and keep them safe in a great big hug. … to corny? that’s me, giggle.
Thank you for sharing. Hugs!

This is simply ADORABLE!!! I love it. Wings are great for fun but even better for protection…in a variety of ways. Thanks for the fresh perspective and I hope you get to watch the movie soon :)

Brittany, loke you I would visit my loved ones! Also all of the friends we have met over the years.
Brittany says
I’m sure you have many friends who live all over the place. If I get a set of Falcon wings, I will surely let you borrow them to visit all your friends :)

Can I join you on your trip to Australia?!?! You’re right about meeting bloggy friends from all over. I would love to meet some of these gals face-to-face. Thanks for visiting and commenting :)

If I had wings… I’d definitely visit friends and family who we haven’t seen in 4 years! And I go exploring some other parts of the world that are on our bucket list. Yes, having wings would be awesome. I just hope I’d do better with wings than I do driving a car!

You are so right about flying v. driving. Oh my goodness. I just got in a hit-and-run car accident, so I totally feel you on that one. My theory is that there are far fewer Falcons out there than drivers. So that has to make it safer, right? Thanks for visiting and leaving some love :)

Brittany,
I LOVE this post! Thanks for being a breath of fresh air in my bloggy travels. I love that movie (my youngest son is named after the good Captain, Stephen Rogers!!) and the Falcon is AWESOME! I don’t know, flying like that sounds pretty terrifying to me, but I could certainly go for some free airfare to Disney World, or even Harry Potter Land! That would be SWEET!
I think I’ll share this. Because you’re cool.
Your Namesake

Brittany, thanks so much for sharing this post!!! It’s funny to me that some of my most random “why not?” posts tend to be the ones that catch people’s attention. I can’t believe you named your son after Captain America; that is totally awesome. I bet he’s really cute and thinks he’s a super hero. Which makes you a super mom I’d say. Anyway, I can see how flying like Falcon might be slightly terrifying, but most exhilarating things are ;-) You’re the best!
