The toddler came home from his grandparents place with this creepy person-shaped balloon a couple of days ago.
Aside from it moving by itself throughout the house at all hours (I am not kidding), the toddler insists on holding onto it frequently. Example above: watching TV and hanging out with Creepy-Big-Head-Person-Balloon.
It’s watching me.
Someone save me! Anyone?
Linking up with parenting By dummies for Wordful Wednesday!

oh my, that is totally creepy. My husband agrees. Maybe it should get “lost?” I’ve disappeared more than one balloon in my day, but none were as creepy as that! Next nap time – do it!

I’ve ‘disappeared’a few things too! But I’m kinda having fun with Creepy Balloon – by freaking my husband out haha!
I have had numerous wandering balloons freak me out- and those are just the normal ones. Maybe freaky baby balloon will just Happen to pop in the night.

This one is particularly scary isn’t it? Even the idea of popping it creeps me out – it’d be like ‘killing’ something!
That would creep me out too! They should not make balloon like that!

Holy crap on a cracker! I hate balloons and clowns. That thing would put me in therapy every day it’s alive.
Pop it. Pop it now.

Hee! Popping it is going to be like ‘killing’ it wouldn’t it? Seeing as it’s human shaped and all. Sort of.
It’s definitely watching you.
(Creepy, for sure!)

Ha ha ha! Those pictures made me laugh out loud. Why do they always come home from the grandparents with weird stuff? I agree with everyone else – it needs to accidentally bump into a pin.
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf ‘s last awesome post..Scenes from My Weekend – Aerial View
Because the grandparents don’t have to live with these weird stuff!!
That is SO funny! I don’t know if it would make me freak out, but the photo of it peeking over the couch really, REALLY sets the mood! I can practically hear Alfred Hitchcock’s theme song playing!

Maureen | Tatter Scoops ‘s last awesome post..Jakarta, My Love Affair
See, this is why I don’t (or let my boy) watch Malaysian cartoons
Hahahaha! Grandparents just don’t get it!
My mother once brought a huge Dora balloon for my daughter. Hated it.
Be patience, eventually it will have a little tiny hole, and then you can sadly say your goodbyes.
Mirjam ‘s last awesome post..Choices
You mean happily
Hahah!! I believe that’s Ipin (since he has an ‘i’ on his singlet)
Who the heck is Ipin???
I’m with you – that is seriously (but funnily) freaky! Isn’t it funny the things kids take to?

Love it! I hope it’s silent as it creeps through your house! That just adds to its charm! Do you find it hovering over your bed when you wake up in the morning? If only it could speak! Where can I get one????
Lola ‘s last awesome post..Purim Decorum
Fortunately it hasn’t learned to open doors. OMG if it could speak, I would die. I’ll ask my in laws where they obtained Mr Creepy. Just for you.
OMG I now know what to send you on your birthday!

The only thing freakier than this guy would be a clown balloon floating through my house. They terrify me! Are you sure this guy can’t float by something sharp
Kristen ‘s last awesome post..Size REALLY Does Matter…
I am actually considering leaving it outside a neighbor’s door just for laughs. I’m going to hell aren’t I?
We’ve had balloons in our house since January (lots of birthdays) and I hate how we come home and hear ithem upstairs caught in ceiling fans (scared the crap out of me more than once). However a “little boy” balloon is a little creepy (ok a lot LOL) . Plus it’s spying on you! I think a well place pin prick hole is in order (slow leak) xoxoxo
It’s totally spying on me. Yup, it’s gotta go!!
The balloons that we had for my sons birthday in January have finally disappeared. I couldn’t believe how long they stayed afloat!
And yea…. that balloon is creepy.
How do they last that long???
Running into him at night would be really scary!

Fun for the toddler, yes!
Don’t laugh, but mylar balloons in general freak me out, and whenever my kids obtain one they “mysteriously” disappear when they aren’t home. This guy would have to go-it creeps me out just looking at it! POP-oops!
I think they’re designed to freak parents out!
we used to have a talking dora toy that was in the basement and would sometimes chat on her own – coming up to us as a disembodied voice from below.
all just to say, i feel your creepy.

But omg, you have given me a belly laugh.
Thank you for that.
I hope you got Creepy Man out of your house? Or did Monkey want to sleep with him? This is priceless Alison, PRICELESS!
Good God, where did the grandparents FIND such a weird lookin’ balloon??
Ado ‘s last awesome post..The Invisible Children of Uganda
Thank goodness he doesn’t want to sleep with that thing. *shudder* I have no idea where his grandparents obtained that horror but I have a good mind to send Monkey there with Creepy Balloon this weekend!
Holy hell, that’s creepy! Why, WHY did they give that to him???
Although I’m laughing at the picture of him hanging out with it just watching TV… and at the thought of it floating around your house all night.
Kristin @ What She Said ‘s last awesome post..Kids Say the Darndest Things
I haven’t had any idea why would think it was a good idea to 1) get that thing 2) give it to him.
The thought of it floating around my house at night is keeping me in my room til morning. A good prevention for midnight snacking
This balloon is super creepy! I hope it “accidentally” goes away soon!

Well, it is creepy. I don’t understand the things kids latch on to sometimes! My middle girl is currently obsessed with a mushroom shaped eraser, nicknamed Mushy, short for Mushina. She’s built it a room in one of her drawers and is taking it everywhere. But it’s only weird, not creepy.
Katie E ‘s last awesome post..Another Random #iPPP
Hahaha, that’s funny
That is super creepy. I think I would have it “accidently” pop.
I do believe that is the general consensus
Oh, that is freaky. Even in broad daylight that’s freaky. I agree with Jaime, I’d definitely have to “accidentally” pop that to avoid nightmares. lol.

You just know the grandparents are laughing it up.

That is quiet possibly the scariest balloon I have ever seen.
Maybe it’ll accidentally pop itself?
Life As Wife ‘s last awesome post..Wordless Wednesday: Walker
I hope so. For me to pop it, it’d be like, er, “killing it”?
That would totally freak me out too. Especially in the wee hours of the morning when I go downstairs to the kitchen for a snack….
Janice ‘s last awesome post..The Patio
It works well to prevent midnight snacking!
OMG, YES! That thing is freaky. Worst part? Those darn helium balloons last FOREVER. We finally just stabbed one to deflate it after it was “alive” for a month (and driving me crazy).
Hold on tight, creepy boy may be sticking around awhile!
Mrs. Weber ‘s last awesome post..Taking Time Out For Me
Oh crap. I might just have to put a pin to it…..
Ok, so I will admit I was laughing. Then I thought about if it was in my house, hanging out in our living room. And how loudly I would scream if I forgot about it and came downstairs in the dark.
I hope it deflates soon.

Believe me when I say – my fantasy now is to kill that thing.
The circle is complete by the way! Good to know about the prison thing.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!That balloon reminds me of the giant floating baby head on Phineas and Ferb…I think I would sneak that balloon away from my kiddo and ever so secretly pop it and put it out of it’s misery…you know because I’m such a nice mom like that.
Haha! Believe me, I’ve been entertaining equally evil thoughts…
Yeah…that freaks me out too. Scary.

That is the most unattractive “children’s balloon” I’ve ever seen. Where on earth do you find something like that?! I would have to get a tiny needle out and poke it so that he would deflate faster. I would probably loose sleep with that thing in my house! You’re so brave!
Cassie ‘s last awesome post..Late Night Rambles
I wish I knew where the grandparents obtained such a monstrosity!
THAT is just about the creepiest thing ever. You need to, as my mom used to say, “disappear” that thing.
I might see it in my dreams now.

Glad to have made you laugh!
So Love it! The post…not the balloon. It is creepy, but some must really like it or else it would be out of production! I say it needs to die a slow death…death by one small prick. No one would even see it. Throw away the pin so no evidence with your print on it.
