We had a birthday party, and of course we had balloons.
After the birthday party the boys started popping the balloons. The birthday girl wanted to hold onto a balloon and didn't want it popped.
My three year old came to me and said, "I tried asking her nicely, but she still won't let me pop her balloon. It makes nice fireworks!"

Needless to say, it did end up in the hands of the boy!
