The Birthday Balloon!!

A couple of days ago Shelly told Trevor he could pick out a Birthday Balloon .....

Hmmm.... you are thinking, did I miss something, Trevor's not turning 8!! Well, here is the story ...

Shelly and Trevor stopped in at a grocery store here in the big city that has awesome balloons, so Shelly tells Trevor he can pick one for his Birthday. After looking them all over carefully, up and down nearly every aisle in the store, he decides he wants a number 5. After paging the balloon person and a big hunt in the balloon drawer they are all out of the number 5. So Shelly suggests Trevor pick one of the many fantastic Happy Birthday balloons. There are rockets, stars and all kinds of crazy shapes. Trevor decides he really wants a number!! Well ok, says Shelly, if you want a number that's fine.

Which one would you like?

"Well Mom, my favorite number is infinity, but they don't have that. So I'll get the 8 and turn it sideways!"

We don't need to get him anything else this year, he is totally delighted with his 8 balloon.
