Balloon strings
Annie got an uninflated balloon when trick or treating.
She asked me to blow up the balloon & then went to play with it in the living room.
She came back a few minutes later & asked me to put a string on it.
I did (eventually).
After she’d had the string on it for a couple minutes, she came back to me & said “Mom, it’s not going up!”.
I had to explain to her that it’s not the string that makes the balloon go up, but the helium inside of it.
Weird, what kids think.
