Some may ask, why do all children birthday parties have balloons? I know many of my friends dislike having balloons near them. They hated the screeching sound when you rub your hands across the balloons. They hated the fear that’s creeping up in their mind that the balloon right beside them may just burst any moment.

Even though my boys had been hurt by balloons before, (Man! Its painful when the balloons burst in your hands) they still welcome balloons with a big smile whenever a nice uncle or auntie pass them one.

We were in the bank. Long queue as usual. Thank goodness the staff in the bank understand the patience level of kids and handed them a balloon each to get them entertained while the adults are in the queue.
