Shock waves at home

So Dad just got a new job, in a new city. We were all preparing to shift to this

city when the TV announcements came - “bombing in the Gulf!” — and we live

in the Gulf! We panicked, packed in a rush, and totally forgot our country has

superhero-level defence. We tiptoed out for groceries, essentials, each one

grim with their own thoughts. My baby brother playing in the living room

happily , when suddenly  " BOOM "  a loud bang in front of us. For one second I

yelled “RUN?!” and then we all cracked up. Turns out my baby brother burst

his balloon while playing —phew!

Now we all laughed so much that our stomach ached !  My little brother

wondering what is wrong with all of us.. Dad said, “Well, at least we know the

real ‘bomber’ in the house is!”

After that, we decided maybe we were worrying a little too much, and to take

things one at a time. Warned my brother that next time he should warn us

before launching another “balloon attack”!
