My kids and their friends decided to have a water balloon fight with all of the unused balloons that had been lying around my house from all of the birthday parties. They filled up about thirty of them and hauled them outside. They had a great time whipping them at each other, getting wet. Even our German Shepherd, Schultz, got in on the action.
After about twenty minutes of playing, there was only one balloon left. And my son, Bubba, had it. "I know who this is for," he announced. He eyeballed his sister.
He took it in both hands and was about to launch it in her direction, when it suddenly splattered all over him. He was soaked, because of course, it was the biggest balloon.
Everyone laughed.
"Yeah, Bubba," I said. "We all knew who that was for. You!"
That's called irony!
ReplyDeleteYes - a perfect example of it!
Deletein his face! :)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts, exactly!
DeleteHA! Brotherly love!

Deletehaha you all got the last laugh there
ReplyDeleteThat we did!
DeleteI used to play with them in the pool because it increased the chance of escaping and having the balloon survive. We realized later it increased the chance of breaking the "nothing above the shoulders" rule. After, you know, we had all been smacked in the face with water balloons. The one that hit me didn't even explode.
ReplyDeleteThose things can really hurt!
DeleteKarma.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it?
DeleteIt's a good thing Bubba soaked himself so his sister didn't have to teach him a lesson.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I'm sure she was happy she got out of that one!
DeleteOh, my...laughing--fate, I call it.
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen the expression on his face when it broke in his hands! Priceless!
DeleteSounds like a classic moment!
ReplyDeleteYes. I wish I had caught it on camera.
DeleteSaved the best for last
ReplyDeleteThe biggest and the best!
DeleteAt first I thought he might change it up real quick and hit YOU! But no, getting it all over himself was just the right revenge before the dirty deed was ever even completed. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the thought crossed his mind, but since I had the camera in my hands, he figured he'd better not!
DeleteHehe, I so love this game!
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't so busy taking pictures, I would've thrown a few water balloons myself!
DeleteWhat fun, not only for the children but for the adults also.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Yes. The adults were quite entertained!
DeleteLOL. It's these moments that really make life worth it. How often we get so busy we forget to have them, eh?
ReplyDeleteWater balloon fights are the best. What's summer without them?
DeleteSounds like everyone had fun. : )
ReplyDeleteWe certainly did!
DeleteThis sounds like fun! I haven't had a good water balloon fight in years! :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Then it sounds like you should go get yourself a pack of balloons and start filling them up!
DeleteWater balloon fights were always SO fun! They're better if everyone has swimsuits on, though!
ReplyDeleteThe neighbor was the only one smart enough to wear a swim suit. ;0)
Deletelol. Fun times. I love water balloons.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely one of the best things about summer.
DeleteAh, siblings and some justice
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was quite pleased.
DeleteI love it when there's justice. I'll be Bubba has a new lesson tucked away for his future big boy self. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Maybe. ;0)
