Balloon Fun

A sweet little boy gave Lily his green balloon when he (and his dad) noticed how much she liked it when he was passing by. Lily was throwing it and chasing along the square in front of the train station as people sitting along the steps watched in amusement. Eventually, the balloon landed in a big pile of seagull poop, so I took the balloon and threw it away. Lily was so upset! She couldn't understand why I took it from her. It broke my heart! And I bet left the observers speachless as to how a mom could be so mean '_' [July 6, 2007]
