Subject: Definition of a kite

My official definition "in the book" for kite is as follows, "A kite is a 
quadrilateral in which two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are
congruent."  This leads students to believe that a rhombus would not be
considered a kite.  Is this correct?  I thought a rhombus was a kite.  Do I
need to include the word disjoint in my definition.  Thanks for the help!!
