Guy on Hannity (Ron from Long Island), said if he were a kid, he would be hiding, thinking his parents were mad because the balloon took off?
(If he released it or not, they may have thought he released it?)
My husband once hid from his aunt who was babysitting him. When he realized how upset she was that he could not be found, he stayed hidden longer! A memorable event in his life. He still feels sorry for having caused her so much grief. It happened over 50 years ago.
