kinky j Report post Posted September 23, 2006 hi all, does anyone else find they're begining to hate balloons with a passion??? C absolutely loves them he'll spend hours playing with one, likes sticking them to the wall with static, talking into them so they vibrate against his lips or just generally knocking them about the room but, inevitably, they end up bursting and all hell breaks loose! i end up with a desperately inconsoleable little boy sobbing into my lap insiting on seeing the broken remains and demanding that i fix it he never used to get like this when he was younger, until his dad got him a helium balloon and got him to let it go so he could watch it fly off (pre-dx so not his dad's fault really) and c was really interested until he realised he couldn't have it back so we're off to mac-d's next week, for another red balloon on a stick (cos a normal balloon just won't do to replace a mac-d's one ) and praying someone invents a stronger balloon soon KJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Report post Posted September 25, 2006 I find the shiny foily balloons (helium) loads better than the normal balloons, they last ages - weeks and don't make such a loud pop when they burst (in fact they are far more durable). We keep them for a week then have a "letting go" celebration out of the back door for helium ones and the other ones "mysteriously" pop over night and go out with the dustman. I curse everytime that a McDonalds employee walks up to me all smiley with the balloons (like they are doing me a favour) - the fact you have to walk around town with two kids with balloons for the rest of the day, trying to gouge each others eyes out with the plastic stick things. Also, they always end up squabbling over which one gets the blue one (as there are never 2 blue ones in the bunch). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
