I hate balloons

I would be delighted if my children never, ever received or played with another balloon for the rest of their lives, or until at least they have kids of their own and will then understand how terrible balloons are.

Here is the problem with balloons- it always ends in tears.  Name me ONE TIME a child has received a balloon and been happy with it until the demise of the balloon.  Certainly not my kids.

In my house, kids cry over balloons because

1. they pop
2. they float away
3. a sibling wants to play with it
4. the dog or cat destroys it

Please, friends, family and school, I beg you. Never another balloon.
