Balloon parenting fail!

Awesome!  The balloon man came to Glen Ellyn tonight, and we were lucky to be the last ones allowed in line.  If, by lucky, you mean getting to hold this humiliating balloon the entire time we waited....
 ...and waited...
 ...and waited.
 Uh, is this line moving?  After a half hour, it became apparent that we were STILL going to be waiting at bedtime, so we had to leave.  This of course triggered a gigantic tantrum.  And what's the best way to deal with a tantrum?
 That's right, bribery!  In the form of chocolate ice cream.
 Sorry, Stephie...
 ...and Haley.  Can you see the large ball careening toward Haley's head?  Because that's what happened about 2 seconds after this picture was taken.  BONK.  Massive parenting fail on all accounts.
