I enjoy balloons, I don't mind holding them and balloon tying is fun! I mean, I don't tie long balloons into dogs and all that, but I like getting one at parties (even though I'm a teenager.)
Don't get me started on popping them... I HATE the sound; it's too loud. We have a New Year's tradition where we blow up lots of balloons and pop them when the clock strikes 12, and I have to wear headphones every time so I don't get scared and overstimulated.
