So, I had my sister over... er, well. She's not my sister. At least not by blood. Used to be the neighbor's kid, but our family's are super close, she comes over for sleepovers and whatnot.
A member on the forum had sent me a balloon care package of sorts not too long ago, and I haven't used them for anything really. No real drive to, but kids love balloons, if you didn't know.. so I got a couple of these big ones out and humored her. I love being innocent with them just as much or if not more than when indulging with them.
So I have this balcony on my apartment. It's technically second story, but the apartment underneath me is half underground, so it's a lot lower than what is typical for second story. We went out there and blew some up. Hers she was able to knot. Mine ended up escaping and flapping to the ground where it slowly deflated like a LOSER. It didn't even fly. Boring. =[
We both went down to get it, and by the time we were ready to go inside, my backyard was littered with balloon pieces from both big and regular 12" balloons. We had batted them off the balcony at each other at first.. and it had graduated to having my dog do Air Bud like balloon bopping across the yard. (She's so pro, btw.) The big ones floated and carried in the wind better than the small ones.. and I had to establish a rule of "careful not to run in the road chasing these stupid things" since they went so faaaar.
It was sooo fun. Her little brother ended up coming inside when she had to go home, and I gave him a big balloon since he missed out on them. This guy loves balloons. Gave him the glow in the dark ones for Christmas ... I think with pirates on it or something like that.
So, anyone got some nice, innocent stories involving balloons (or inflatables) you'd like to share?
