Pity the poor balloon seller seriously considering a vasectomy due to the horrors of his job....
Every weekend at party upon party he witnesses the worst behaved children imaginable, miniature armies of spoilt Jaydens and Callistas whose parents are seriously trying to raise them without ever using the word 'no', lest it damage their rampaging egos.
He has been punched in the testicles by a four year old boy for not inflating a giant lion balloon fast enough. He has stood agog as a six year old girl spat at her mother because she wanted 'a freaking rainbow balloon arch like Vinessa's but bigger' and, unbelievably, the mother apologised to her child and then paid him extra to make it happen. His wife wonders why their sex life has gone off the boil? Why, when they're making money he seems so unhappy and exhausted? He feels he is being worn down. The other day, between jobs he fell asleep standing up. Each arm was raised by a handful of balloons so that he resembled a slumbering Christ. He only snapped out of it when an angry parent rang his phone wanting to know why his precious offspring was being kept waiting?
That's the start of another story from my new book SPARKS. The book has 80 photographs, each one matched to a story inspired by the image. It's in bookshops and on Amazon right now, link in the comments below. Please take a look. Thanks.
