Princess Diary: A Sad Day for Balloons

My mommy has made me very, very sad today. I only usually like going to the tunnel store to buy food because it has a playground and it's where my daddy works, but the best thing about the other store is that they have balloons! Today they didn't have the usual balloons and I was so, so sad until I saw that they had extra special long string balloons! Those are the best because you can twist them into all kinds of shapes like puzzles! I got one and then Pea got one and we were having so much fun! Mommy told me I had to be very careful when I was twisting them so that they didn't pop, so I was extra careful. We went to another store and got a present for my friend because she's sick and we also got her and her sister a balloon to make them feel better. Those are the really good ones and I picked out a special Elmo one and one with a flower that I just knew would make them feel better. When we were getting into the van, I said, "Mommy! Hold onto the balloons! Don't let them fly away!" and Mommy said, "Just sit down in your seat and hurry up because we have to get to Spanish class" and then the balloons flew right out the door and into the sky! I know that balloons can't come back once they fly away because that happened to me before. Mommy said a few words then that she says when bad things happen, but she says that I can't say those words. I said them anyway, and then she told me not to say them because they're not nice words. Sigh! At least we still had my string balloons. When we got home we looked and looked, but one of the string balloons had disappeared too! Now there was only one left! Mommy was holding it and she said, "Hey! Want me to make it into a sword?" and I said, "No!" and she said, "C'mon-let me just show you! It will be-POP!" she didn't say pop-that was the balloon because it popped! She kept telling me to be careful and then as soon as she got it she popped it! It's not fair and I don't like it and it makes me so, so sad. We used to have 1, 2, 3, 4 balloons and now we don't have any! I think I need to go lay down...
