My two year old was playing with a balloon in the living room with my 10 month old. He was dropping the balloon to the baby and she would kick it back with her arms and legs flailing. I was keeping an eye on the situation because sometime Noah gets a little carried away when playing with his baby sister. Everything seemed harmless so I starting working on dinner. Not two minutes later did I hear a very loud “crack” followed by a very loud cry. Noah had found another ball to play with that was the same size and color as the balloon. The only difference was about 7 pounds!

- Things tend to fall downward
- Every Action there is an opposite but equal reaction.
- Not all balls are created equal.
