Our neighbours had a big party the other day. I bumped into them outside the house, and they gave DS (13 months) a balloon left over from the party. DS loved the balloon.
He had a great time waving it about, chasing it around the room, bashing me on the head with it, prodding it etc.
But my heart was in my mouth the whole time. I kept worrying about him popping it and getting a fright, or choking to death on it. After about 15 minutes or so, I just couldn't take any more and removed the balloon. I've hidden it in the kitchen where DS can't see it, and told DS the balloon was tired and needed a nap. DS wasn't happy about this. He wanted the balloon back.
I'm just not sure whether I was being rational or not here. I'm a bit nervous around balloons anyway, so I may have been letting my personal anti-balloon feelings influence me here. AIBU?

to be scared of letting DS play with a balloon?
