True History: Adorable Yes, Flightworthy Maybe.
According to our research, toddlers and young children have been trying to get off the ground for many, many years. Now, for the first time, we have photographic evidence of this so-called ‘flight frenzy’ experienced in olden-times by the very young. Why were they so eager to get off the ground? Was there candy up there? Will we ever truly know, and if not, do we want to? Perhaps. Ultimately, however, the answer, like so many balloons, may be lost to the sands of time.

Look up.
I tried to levitate today… just to impress David. It was harder than I thought it would be ! In any case, there’s *always* candy up there ~!
It’s so funny to look at old photos and see how time’s a changin’.
Awww, I want to scheme adorably. Alas, all my scheming is quite evil.
