<< 13. breast balloon game: get some of those breast balloons from Medela -
hold

 pass the balloon from one person to the next in this manner without touching

My youngest son found a better use for these balloons. One evening when he
was in third grade he kept asking if we had a balloon. I was doing the dinner
hour thing where Mom is muttering answers but not really listening to the
questions. He finally went off to himself and I didn't hear anything else
about it and I forgot to help find one that night. The next day the teacher
called and said that Cody had an interesting Scince Fair project-- he put
some type of baking soda and vinegar stuff in a soda bottle  ( or some
concoction) , shook it up and the gas which formed ( I guess it was a gas-I
am not a science fair whiz) blew up the balloon! The teacher said the kids
all loved the breast balloon blowing up, but she thought it was inappropriate
and to please not let him bring breast balloons to school again!
