52 Children's Object Lessons
Object:
A balloon
Purpose: Learning to live with our limitations.
Lesson: Most children, at one time or another, have come to a
parent with a balloon and asked, "Please blow this up for me."
Then they would stand back and watch -- (begin to blow up the
balloon) -- while Mom or Dad blew, and blew, and blew. (While you
talk continue to blow up the balloon.) And the balloon would get
bigger, ... and bigger, ... and bigger, ... until ... BANG! (If
the balloon does not burst from the air you have put into it by
this time, use a small pin to burst it.)
