Water BabiesYet another memory from the ole April archives. Plus, its another balloon story, so this should make my fans happy! No really, I was not going to write about this today, but the comments of everyone made me think that I should try out one more balloon story. Here goes...
The great thing with older sisters is that they know everything. At least that is what a child of six would think. Sometime after a birthday party, we found some unused balloons and one of my sisters showed me a great way to play with them. Far more entertaining than just blowing them up at least. We invented the "water baby". Basically, we filled a regular balloon with water, drew a face on it, then put it into a doll outfit.
Our mother was not very happy with this idea. She was probably worried about a water mess on the carpet when one of these "babies" would pop. Or perhaps she just found it silly, but for whatever reason Mom would take the water babies away whenever she found them. Therefore, we started hiding our new children in secret places. There were several times that I would hide a baby only to find an empty balloon a month later when I remembered where she was.
Probably because of this secret pastime of mine, I found myself drawing a face on a water balloon a few months ago for my daughter. I let her carry her water baby around all day. Yes, it did pop on my carpet, but a water mess was worth the small moment to act out a memory.
*I know, I know, not my best post... But hey I had to keep the balloon stories alive! Viva la balloons!
