Some psychic ought to help out. "Look in the closet."
And attics are basically really big closets, so I was right!

I just hope his daddy isn't like my daddy was!

I still feel the pain from when I destroyed the keys on my mom's new piano with my metal matchbox cars!

LOL!

Our son pushed one of his Matchbox cars through the front grill of our truck and poked a whole in the radiator. Of course, I'm driving it and the dash light comes on. I just kept driving and prayed I would make it to the next gas station.

My husband said, "Why didn't you pull over and get some water out a ditch?!!!"

"HOW am I supposed to know to do that?!!!!"

Found the boy in the garage hiding in a box. The parents give him a whuppin and will be taking into custody by the state. Lose custody.
I suspect some will want to make this a criminal incident. I thinkg it is funny.

Re: Boy 6 floats away in Balloon

Boy was actually not in the garage itself but in an attic above the garage hiding in a box. I have a feeling he probably untethered the balloon then was afraid he was going to be in big trouble so hid.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
