When your kids say too much
(Also posted on Rice Daddies)
This is more of a Rice Boy post rather than a Rice Daddy post–since the dad is White–but I thought it raised some interesting parenting questions. So you’ve all heard about the boy who everyone thought was in the runaway balloon–authorities were scrambling in fear that a six year old boy was in a helium balloon that he had supposedly set aflight, and when the balloon landed, he wasn’t there. It turned out that the little boy was hiding in the attic.
Six Year Old Boy Missing from Balloon
There is an interesting, ongoing story right now about a 6 year old boy who apparently jumped onto a large mylar homemade helium balloon and flew away from his house. People around the world were tracking the balloon as it flew overhead, but when it landed, the boy was not inside. A sibling said that he had seen the boy, Falcon Heene, step into the balloon, but authorities are hoping that they will be able to find him around the neighborhood.
The Heene family was featured earlier this year on Wife Swap. The mother is Japanese.
