What about a sibling that wants to help blow up balloons. Does older brother want help from a younger sister when friends are around? No. My older brother could do three things he could do, he could blow it up, hold the lips and let it fly all around the rooms, the second thing my brother could do is blow the balloon up, hold the lips and make it sing. What’s the best way to get rid of the little sister. He let her blow up the balloon and instead she blows up her head. Mom’s Rules
