I went into town today to buy DS1 a big number 6 helium balloon for his birthday on Thursday. (I promised him one of these as he has ASD and is obsessed with balloons!)
The shop only had 1 left and it was pink!! I decided to buy it anyway as DS1 loves pink and I had promised him and didn't want to let him down.
The girl in the shop inflated it for me and put it in a massive bag. The bag was quite see through.
I then went into another shop and spotted a little pink trinket box which I was looking at buying for my niece for Christmas. A lady walking past said to me "Ooh, she'll love that" then pointed at the balloon and said "When's her birthday?". I automatically said "Thursday".
AIBU to have done this? Or should I have said "Well actually the balloon is for my son who's birthday is Thursday, but this is the only colour the shop had left, and I'm looking at this trinket box for my niece for Christmas"???
