silent attack of the balloons

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2016.04.11

A friend came by with some helium balloons, which The Girl promptly took to her bedroom. They were all over the ceiling above her bed when we put her down for the night.

In the early hours, she woke up wailing because the balloons had all fallen onto her, and she was tangled up in their nylon strings.

Honey, we're laughing with you, not at you.
