I don’t understand how this story became so viral. He was never in the box. He was in the attic. Boy in the attic!? Pleh
The kid was just thinking “out of the box”, now wait, he was in the box.
Tom, you missed out on the whole part of where people thought the boy was in the balloon. Imagine that! A boy floating away in a balloon. It was crazy. Watching the live video, and it’s like “how are we going to get this boy down?” It was crazy! And then the balloon landed, and the boy wasn’t inside. I was devastated. I didn’t like the thought of him falling down. Tragic. So I was SO happy when i found he was ok. It made the story happy and funny.
I didn’t miss it <end>
I think this was a setup to replace the John and Kate show….that is over. They almost had a done deal until the Falcon started talking….this falcon was a talking parrot…say the show ha hah!
This is a classic example of how gulluable the media and people are!!! Remember the “I just won the lottery” lady at the Burlington Coat Factory in Columbus, Ohio last week resulting in a near riot!!!
The more I read it, the more it impresses me. I don t know how I ever worked without hilarious and funny things in our life, Life would be so much easier especially when there’s a jokes here and there. Being funny is nice because a lot of serious people are lacking with this kind of behavior that is why they are much look older. I would like to thank you for your outstanding blog post. Keep it up! Awesome!
