It must have been an interesting sight

I said sure, I would pick up the balloons we were using for centerpieces for a church lunch this weekend. After all, it sounded like a pretty easy job. I went to Dollar Tree on Monday to order 48 large, shiny foil balloons and the little weights to attach them to for table decorations. Well, the decorative little weights were no problem. They were all in one bag that fit nicely on the passenger side floor of my car, The balloons, on the other hand, took up a whole lot of space in my little Fiat. The very helpful clerk helped me carry them out to my car and then we pondered how to get them all in. She had tied their strings together so we wouldn't loose any. To get the job done, she climbed into the back seat of my car pulling the balloon bundle behind her. As she crawled across the seat coaxing the balloons along, I stayed out side pushing more and more balloons into the car. She got out the other side, slammed the door, then ran around to help me stuff the last few into the car. We did get the door shut. Then I got into the driver's seat to drive downtown.. There were balloons beside me, behind me, all around me, which was fun except for the fact that it sharply restricted my side and back views as I drove. I do have a nifty back up camera that shows what's behind me but I didn't feel like driving the whole way in reverse. I made it safely to church, than goodness, but any other drivers glancing my way as I drove into town may have wondered what was going on. Maybe they thought I had the ultimate in multi color, always inflated airbags.
