Well the excitement is over, but now comes the tales...
Over the last week a lot of balloon animals, hearts, flowers and the like have set base in my room, bringing more and more forces to join them.
It was time to reclaim my room, I needed to get rid of all those balloons.
But it's not such an easy task, something about hose little monkeys, piggis, teddy bears and little mice prevented me from popping them all and throwing them to the garbage. It takes a dark kind of person to pop balloons. It's like stepping on a flower. I won't do it (on purpose).
Yesterday I sent Chen, my brother's girlfriend, a picture of some of the balloons and it turns out she wanted them, she wanted them all. So I told her I would bring her the balloons today.
So now I faced the challange of hiding all those balloons somewhere so I can carry them the fourty minutes walk to the place I was supposed to meet her.
It wasn't that successfull. I managed to cramp most of them in two giant plastic bags but I had to carry two hearts, a hat and a big flower with a bird on it's leaf.
So I went out, a balloon hat on my head, two hears on my arm holding two bags full of balloon animals and a big flower with a bird on the other hand.
I walked fast and hoped people would not really notice me as i was a little bent over. I also avoided places with a concentration of people. I went on the side roads you can say.
After ten minutes two teenagers saw me and one of them asked if she can have one. I gave her one of the hearts. I proceeded to walk near a park and three little girls jumped all around me shouting "Balloons! Balloons! Give us balloons!"
Two of them wanted the hear, but I had only one of thoe so one took the heart and the other one took my balloon hat! the third one got a small monkey while one of the first ones managed to sneak a hand in one of my bags and took herself another balloon animal. The other two obviously found that a perfectly good reason why they should have a second balloon animal as well.
So all in all they took two balloons each and I was on my way.
Now I was without the hat, and the hearts and only with two bags and a flower so I was less noticable and I got through to the meeting place.
I met Chen and told her seven balloons were hijacked on the way and she was all like "Hey! Why? Why did you give them away! My balloons!!" :D
So I sat down with her in the park and made her some fresh new balloons.
While I did that, an elderly man approached us and ask me if I sell them.
I told him that I don't but I'll be happy to make him one if he wants.
Imagine if you will a four year old boy, all shy, saying "yes i want one" and now put the body of an elderly man on that boy. That was this man telling me he want a balloon animal :D
I figured he wanted one for a grandson or something. I gave him a naughty monkey and he asked "how much?"
I just told him "Nothing. Enjoy!"
It felt so good!
REALLY really good.
I am so happy anout this :D
I gave an elderly man a balloon monkey! lol
Who knew it would be so easy to be that happy.
This experience pretty much balanced all those sad people that made me feel balloon twisting is stupid and that I should not be doing it since I am a grown up. They can keep their sorry ass activities and work while I enjoy myself doing stuff I like and making people smile (and in so doing, making myself smile)
Pop!
