The sad thing, Naut, is that
when she was 8 years old, she was an annoying household pest. When she was 18 years old, she was a sizzling heartbreaker -- the classic "If I had known how you were going to turn out when you grew up I would have been a hell of a lot nicer to you when you were a kid..."

Hey, Bro.....
Now, you would never have gotten me with that one....I would have taken it to put in my stash of treasures.....only to have it found and then endured all kinds of torture not telling where I got it, leading y'all to owe me bigtime in guilt......or was guilt not something brothers felt for stuff like that..... Great story.....again, I really did miss a lot.....and that's a very good thing.....and not so bad!
(You've really got to put all these stories together in something for kids to read now.....they're so modern day Huck Finn)

This is hilarious, strat!
I can just see that little girl, happily skipping along with her balloon - "Look Mom, what I got from Strat..." 
Incidentally, you and I seem to be working on the same theme today...

Ha! Funny how now
I can only imagine being mortified by my neighbors seeing my kids playing with balloon condoms and less concerned about the fact that my kids were snooping in my drawers. The innocence of youth is far more wonderful than I can ever give it credit for. Take care Strat
