My Sister Threatens Me
Most people around me know of my fear of all things balloony. Especially my sister who the other day threatened me with some balloons. I'm not kidding here either. She'd just got back from a fair or something when she walked (on purpose) into the living room where I was quite happily sitting reading a book. She then produced form behind her a bunch of fully blown up balloons. It took me a second to notice them, then I shrieked - no lies. I'll never forgive her for it, my fear of helium balloons has now actually worsened.
