Joke - Raising Children

Once upon a time there was a mummy balloon, a daddy balloon and a baby balloon.

One night, after everyone had gone to bed, there was a fierce thunderstorm. Baby balloon had never seen a thunderstom before and she was very frightened, so she tried to crawl into her parents' bed so that they could keep her safe.

Urgh. There wasn't quite enough room. Then she thought, 'If I just let a teeny bit of air out of mummy, maybe there will be enough room for me to snuggle here in the bed.' So baby balloon let a teeny bit of air out of mummy.

Urgh. There still wasn't quite enough room. Baby balloon thought 'If I just let a teeny bit of air out of daddy, maybe there will be enough room for me to snuggle here in the bed.' So baby balloon let a teeny bit of air out of daddy.

Urgh. There still wasn't quite enough room. Baby balloon thought 'Maybe if I let a teeny bit of air out of myself, there will be enough room for me to snuggle here in the bed.' So baby balloon let a teeny bit of air out of herself.

The next day, mummy and daddy were very, very cross with baby balloon. Mummy sat her down and said:
'You let me down,
You let your father down,
But most important of all, you let yourself down.'
