i didn't know we had a balloon rule in our family, but apparently, we do and i broke it yesterday! we ate at red robin's and as we were leaving colby asked me to get him the yellow balloon. so i did. we got in the car, and the preacher asked, "who broke the balloon rule?"
"what rule?" i asked.
"the rule where we don't get balloons," he said.
i guess he has issues with balloons that i was completely unaware of. he doesn't like the boys to have balloons because they fight over them, they pop and the pieces get all over the house. ok...
not two seconds after he said that, colby started squeaking his balloon very loudly and spencer yelled at him to stop. then they started fighting over the stupid balloon, and the preacher smugly said, "that's why we have the balloon rule." he made colby hand me the balloon to keep until we got home. while i was holding it, i kinda, sorta accidentally/purposely picked a hole in the balloon to let the air out. i thought that would take care of the problem. WRONG!
as we were driving to church tonight colby was loudly re-inflating the deflated balloon through the hole i had put in it. then the balloon slipped out of his mouth and all the slobber he'd been pumping in the balloon came flying out, some of it landing on spencer!
more yelling....
maybe i will just have to obey the balloon rule after all.
