Things are pretty predictable without siblings.
Makenna got all dressed up and went to homecoming. The couple looked glamorous and gorgeous.
When the glamorous couple returned, they brought a bunch of balloons from the dance with them. Within a nanosecond the balloons were confiscated by Makenna's brothers and their friends, and a game of popping the balloons commenced.
However the balloons did not pop as easily as you might expect. So, Drake, who was of course sporting bright red hair, decided to crush the balloons with his body and pop them all at once. But they did not pop under the weight of his body, red hair and all. So his friend, Jacob, helped out by adding his weight to the balloon crushing experience.
Drake soon learned that when balloons are crushed in such a way, they leave a mysterious injury of horizontal red scrapes that cover the skin from armpit to waist.
I had a lot of questions: Why do boys have to destroy things? Why are balloons so hard to pop? Why do they have to make such a terrifying noise when they pop? How does a person receive an injury from a soft, round balloon? Lucky, those aren't the questions I asked out loud.
"Drake, does that hurt?"
"Yeah, a lot," he answered.
"Maybe you shouldn't do that anymore."
"Oh," he told me, "it's totally worth it."
