I must admit when I see children pulling a balloon along on a string…….
I hope one escapes……. Sounds disrespectful to the child…….but the kid in me…..that’s right in me wants to see it sky rocket into the clouds.
Maybe it’s me but it seems that the balloon is fighting every inch of the walk, and when the sting breaks or a distracted hand loosens its grip…..it’s gone…exuberantly dancing and playing, throwing taunts about the Great Escape…….

The very inquisitive and intelligent child will favor wonder over tears…… mesmerized by the magic of flight ……….they didn’t lose something…… they gained…….

which child were you?   🦁
