Pointing Up At The Birdie

(My grandparents and my immediate family are going out to dinner at a restaurant where they give free balloons to kids. My three-year-old brother lets go of his by accident, and it floats to the ceiling.)

Brother: “Uh-oh.”

Grandma: “What is it?”

(My brother points to the ceiling with his middle finger, not knowing what it means.)

Mom: *shocked* “Who taught him how to do that?”

Me: *laughing* “Mom, he was pointing to his balloon on the ceiling.”

(Everyone looks up and sees the balloon, and begins laughing.)

Grandma: “I was going to say, I didn’t think I was THAT bad!”
