Wow, that whole Balloon Boy escapade was really some must-see TV, wasn't it?
Weird and unreal and suspenseful. Like a mash-up of Home Alone, James and the Giant Peach, and the twitter fail whale.
Confession time: we actually didn't catch any of it. Kristin was curled up with Princess Di's funeral service. Sarah was watching O. J. in the white Bronco. Poppy was trying to decide whether that really was a "wardrobe malfunction," and Susie was hypnotized by Aretha Franklin's hat.
You see, we're connoisseurs of live TV excitement, and Balloon Boy didn't make the cut.
We've carried children to term. We've carried angry toddlers out of restaurants. If we had to, we're pretty sure we could carry a six year old.
And we know a Jiffy Pop container filled with helium wouldn't be able to do it.
