Throwing Balloons

Three girls jumping for joy rampage to go get a balloon. Yay! Balloons at writing time! I grabbed a smooth, deflated black balloon and we headed over to the sink. I stretched out the balloon and put it on the tap head. I slowly and nervously turned on the tap and the balloon filled up with water. “Turn the tap off!” my classmates yelled at me. Panicking, I turned it off, and oh no! I didn’t hold on to the balloon. And suddenly there was a fountain of water in my hands. “AH, STOP THE BALLOON!”

I threw it in the sink to fountain water there, and everyone was laughing so much they had tears in their eyes! We got the balloon, refilled it with water, blew it up, and tied it up. “Come on, Hannah and Sophie!” I said excitedly. We sat down and cautiously rolled the balloon to each other. We said “AH! OH! JEEPERS!” We could hear the splashing water inside the balloon going side to side, up and down, as it jolted and jerked. We didn’t dare to throw it to each other, but we did dare to roll it to each other forcibly. After a couple of rolls, we went outside and then it happened. We threw it, and we all screamed. “AH! CATCH IT!” It was exactly like a hot potato. We saw it glide through the air, but then kaboom. It popped.
