Balloon Railroad Crossing Deceased

Up until yesterday, the Son was playing a lot with his railroad crossing. He would put the signal up and down so that cars would know if a train was coming. He had a lot of fun. He even had his trains pass by it.
Then came yesterday. Yesterday, the Son grabbed the Husband's car keys and commenced Operation Balloon Destruction. He pierced each and every balloon in that decoration and giggled maniacally every time he got one to pop. Silly boy. I'm glad he's not sad about the decoration's impermanence!
