: Anyone know the origin of the phrase: "Go fly a kite!"?

I looked in several references and didn't find the phrase. That was surprising. The one that did have "go fly a kite" said it originated in the United States and cited The American Thesaurus of Slang, 1942, Lester V. Berry and Melvin Van Den Bark.
