Floating balloon |
Atilla just experienced a very upsetting thing in his
life. He's learning about senescence.
His floating balloon no longer floats.
Aunty visited on Sunday, gifting a balloon! And
incidentally the stuffed giraffe tied to the end of it. Oh, Atilla had so much
fun catching the balloon and releasing it to float to the roof of the house.
Once it floated up the stairs!
By the evening it was hovering mid-air.
By the next morning the balloon had stopped floating, and
was reducing in size. Atilla was very upset. Why couldn't he have the same fun
he had before? Why was it that, even when the string was tied to the giraffe as
it was before, the balloon still won't float?
Mummy fix it!
Sadly, I had to explain the facts of life. Sorry Atilla,
the balloon is getting old. It's too tired to float.
He refused to accept the explanation.
Daddy fix it!
Giraffe tickle Atilla! Tickle tickle!
