Just Before Bed

Description

“What should I do next?” The girl wondered aloud, as she undid the clip holding her balloon’s nozzle closed.


She had been playing with her big yellow balloon all day, and now it was almost time for her to go asleep. As she blew it up even further, she went over all the fun games she had done with it; bouncing it, bouncing on it, rolling it around the floor like a ball, using it like a big chair, letting it rocket around the house by letting it go, and of course seeing how big she could inflate it.

But it was time to go to bed, so she needed something really exciting to do with it. And preferably quick, before her parents made her deflate it, and put it away.

“I’ve already let you fly around...” said the girl, to her balloon. “And it’s too late to see if I can blow you up even bigger...”

Then she remembered what she saw on television, while sitting in her ‘chair’; a nice green clown also had a balloon, one nowhere near as big as the girl’s balloon of course, but a nice balloon none the less. And at the end of the show the clown did something to her own balloon that the girl thought looked very fun. Granted the girl’s balloon was not filled with shiny confetti like the clown’s had been, but seeing as how the girl’s yellow balloon was so much bigger...

“It would make a really loud bang, and be so much fun to do!” the girl giggled, while giving her balloon a big hug.

She blew into it more while she looked about her room for something nice and sharp. Inside of her closet was a kit for knitting wool together, and a small glint of metal caught her attention; one of the large knitting needles.

“ Perfect!” cheered the girl, as she picked up the needle, and then laid upon her balloon, which was now even bigger than she was. She poked it into her balloon not-quite-so gently, kicking her legs in anticipation. The soft carpet on the floor of her bedroom would be her only cushion in a few moments, but it would be enough. “Bye-bye pretty balloon!”



Tomorrow she would start playing games with her nice big GREEN balloon.

This may have been the pic that made me know you, I wasn't understanding English enough to read the story, but the pic was quite great for me.
When I eventually got good enough and read your story, it was even greater, all this love for the balloon that was her big good toy making her thinking of everything she did, and then, the growing temptation of this orb close to her living its last moment...
And when I read about the wool knitting needle, I knew what those needles are! Long but dull needles, so my imagination grew even wilder: What if she didn't popped it because it was too hard for her? What if the needle wasn't sharp enough and she decided to use her nail and pop it in a squeeze hug? What if the parent got in and prevented the boom? What if she eventually wanted to see how big it could REALLY grow?
And finally, what about the green balloon?

Sorry for the long (and way too late) comment, but this may have been a huge source of inspiration for me and I felt bad for never thanking you for this...
