Oh will there be some ‘splainin’ to do!
UPDATE: This could turn tragic. The balloon has landed…and no boy is aboard.
UPDATE 2: MSNBC is reporting that KUSA-TV in Denver is reporting that the boy has been found…alive….in his house. If true, this is good news – for all of us. For the cops and the family, there are questions. A police sheriff is saying that the boy was in a box – but not in the balloon, but one in the attic of his family’s garage. It was the boy’s brother who told police the boy had climbed in the box attached to the balloon before it took off. There is a question whether there ever was a box attached to the balloon.
Everyone is speculating why the 6-year old kid was hiding.
Now MSNBC is dragging this story out. A woman who switched places with his mother for a reality show said the kid was “a prankster.” But she speculates that the kid was probably hiding not to fool somebody, but because his father would kill him when dad finds out he let the balloon take off.
Sounds good to me. Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.
