Boy, those are some really beautiful balloons. They re going strong now, stuck to the ceiling and all, but they re going to annoy me any day now. I just know it. I need to head this off at the pass. No, I can t pop them.
Balloons are kind of like insects.
Part of you has no problem at all with killing them, but another part of you suspects it s somehow going to count against you in the afterlife, or at the very least, give you a shooter of bad karma. Killing insects is wrong no matter how brainless you suspect they are bugs other than spiders, that is. Killing balloons is just as bad. Especially red balloons. I should just go out into the courtyard and let all of them loose into the sky.
