Hello, Balloon.

This is a story about an experience I had at a family party yesterday afternoon/night.

Hello, Balloon

By Tyler


I arrived at the party early in the afternoon
It was a birthday party for a family member
Other family was there
But so was someone else.

“Hello, Balloon” I said.
“Hello, sir” it says back.
I pick Balloon up
I bounce him around in my hands.

He was an orange balloon
Call me prejudice, but I like orange balloons
At least more than yellow ones
Though I treat all balloons equally

I eat with balloon beside me
I play my 3DS with balloon beside me
I relax with balloon beside me
Balloon was with me for a couple hours.

The family was here, it was time to start the party
I went to go find balloon
But wait
Balloon was gone

“Balloon! Where are you, balloon?!” I scream in a panic
It was a small room, where could he have gone?
I give up hope, I cry
But alas, balloon finds me

“I’m sorry, Tyler.” He says
“I was getting some hotdogs
And Mountain Dew”
Balloon has to eat too.

Balloon introduces himself to the family
They all agree that orange balloons are nice
My uncle is even prejudice against non-orange balloons
But balloon didn’t seem to mind

Then came time for us to pack up
Balloon doesn’t have arms or legs
He can’t help, but only keep company.
We did give him some food to take home though

It was time to say good bye, for now at least.
“Good bye Balloon. Where will you go?”
“I’ll stay here, Tyler. I live in this building.”
“Good bye Balloon. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.”

Balloon called me the next day on my house phone
Balloon and I are going to go out to eat sometime
He shops at the grocery store I work at
Balloon and I are friends for life.
