"Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air/ Can't live, can't breathe with no air"

My sister LA's daughter NP is turning one in a few days (crazy!) and she asked me and my mom for some ideas for kid games at the birthday party. It has a cupcake theme. The following exchange took place:

Me: How about something with balloons and they can be the cherries on top of the cupcake?!

My mom: No, nothing with balloons. Little kids can choke on them.

Me: Well, why don't you just take the air right out of my idea?

YES. This is the type of humor you have to look forward to in the book. Did your hopes just deflate (oops, I did it again!)?

I'm not going to lie. I am a dork (and I realize it is "wind out of my sails". I had to make it work, okay?) and laughed so hard at my own joke and my mom and LA's reactions that I actually made myself cry. Well I was also crying cause I knew it was so terrible but I just couldn't help it.
