The Joy of Balloon

There comes a time in every young baby's life when he experiences his first helium-filled balloon.

This orange balloon came from yesterday's birthday party. It has a nice ribbon that ties well to a wrist, or to a doorknob. It's bouncy. It bothered the dog. Tomorrow, it won't probably have much helium in it.

I will save the experience of helium inhalation for another day. Life is too short, but there are still some pleasures worth spacing out.
