Kablam! is the sound heard when a punch balloon<\/a>, for sale<\/a> like the one seen in this video, advice<\/a> explodes.\u00a0 We heard this sound twice over the last two days at our house!\u00a0 My oldest daughter was responsible for both balloons popping.\u00a0 On accident, viagra sale<\/a> she successfully broke both of her sisters balloons.\u00a0 She felt terrible both times the balloons exploded as she cried and was very remorseful for her actions.\u00a0 I actually was watching her one of the times and they were both total accidents.\u00a0 But once again, it was teaching time!<\/p>\n

Whether or not she intended on popping the balloons, she was still responsible.\u00a0 We have a family rule that if you break something, whether accidentally or on purpose, you pay to replace the item.\u00a0 We believe in teaching our daughters to take responsibility for their actions.\u00a0 Saturday morning we jumped in the minivan and made the short drive to Walmart.\u00a0 We finally found the punching balloons (they are not in the toy department but instead are in party supplies.)\u00a0 Since we had to ask for help in locating the balloons we had a Walmart associate with us as we discovered the balloons.\u00a0 But as we picked up the bag of balloons it was very evident someone had taken one of the balloons.\u00a0 The bag had a big hole and only three of the four balloons were still in the bag.\u00a0 Fortunately for us this was the last bag in the store.<\/p>\n

As we walked to the cash register I inquired to the Walmart associate if we\u00a0 would be able to purchase the balloons for less than the $2.00 marked price since one balloon was missing.\u00a0 I told her I would be willing to pay $1.00 and she accepted my offer!\u00a0 Here is a copy of the receipt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What a day!\u00a0 Two lessons from one balloon popping.\u00a0 As we drove home I asked our oldest daughter again why we purchased the balloons and who paid for the balloons.\u00a0 She told me because she popped her sisters balloon and she paid for the balloon.\u00a0 I then asked her if she would rather pay $1.00 for a balloon or $.33?\u00a0 She told me $.33 and we discussed how I was able to negotiate with the employee because even though the product was not whole in our case it was acceptable.<\/p>\n

I want to encourage you to be intentional about teaching your children biblical principles of money!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
