when i was a but a child
(last week)
we had to make our own fun.
and one of my favourite things to do
on those clear dark nights
was to get a helium balloon
and a lightstick (ideally neon green)

and play UFO SIGHTING!

gosh. what fun.
see, you break open the lightstick
and pour the glowing "liquid" over the balloon.
release balloon.
watch silent glowing object move through the sky.
call local radio/tv station and report ufo sighting.
count how many other calls they've had.
run like hell.
giggle.

repeat.
