What happens when you combine an over-inflated punching balloon, an eager to show his dad, happy child, a father with a semi-maniacal, over-exuberant punching rhythm and low, popcorn-styled ceilings?
a) An exploded punching balloon.
b) A stunned and heart-broken little boy.
c) Some harsh words from the wife.
d) A deep, soul-crushing feeling that you've somehow just
betrayed your child.
e) All of the above.

How much is a punching balloon, like 75 cents? Seems like you should keep a small supply in the closet.
Well, it's not so much about keeping or not keeping spares handy (besides, how often have you actually run into a punching-balloon crisis?!?), it's about that moment where your kid goes from happy-high to crushing-low and it's all *your* fault.
That's a daily occurrence over here. It keeps them tough. What kind of soft kids are you raising??? :)
