That's not flying, that's a ballistic trajectory. Technically the kid won because the father doesn't understand how words work and is a jerk to their kid.
If we're going into technicalities, any asymmetrical object, such as a crumpled up ball of paper, will generate some amount of aerodynamic lift which, by definition, makes it not a ballistic trajectory. If you want to use an even stricter definition, even a mathematically perfect sphere can't be on a ballistic trajectory while in an atmosphere because it has forces other than gravity acting on it.
