“Our youngest would have definitely pulled something like this. His son, now 6, spent the summer with us. Not only would our grandson have taken off in the balloon, he would have built it first, given the science and supplies. True, we did keep an extra eye on both of them...but still...kids are kids, and some are much more daring than others.”
That is the kind of kid that I am, and I had brothers and friends who would help, and I raised one of them, too!
What kid hasn’t played with a helium balloon and wondered what would happen if you tied a bunch of them to a lawn chair. It’s like the movie “Up.”
Media is disappointed they don’t get to do the cute interview tomorrow.
Brothers not getting along?
Was one getting special treatment (adopted, harped on, etc.)
Both brothers sick of being awakened to follow storm balloons?
Just to be sure, do a mini-scared straight on the brother at the local jail.
It would seem the parents may be due some mandatory parenting courses (as per reports re: wife swap), and certain chemicals that may be unsafe on the premises.
If, like others said, they had no control whatsoever re: kids on the show and no regular, formal schooling.
