Parents are like Balloons

Soft, fairly colorful, all types of shapes and sizes and every kid seems to want one.

But watch out!
If you poke them, prod them, over-agitate them, bite them neglect them or even sit on them they'll
POP!!
The most important thing is to never let go of the string.
First, you'll be fairly distraught at the loss of something you hadn't planned on ever letting go.
Then, you'll spend your life missing all the smiles, joys and "boinging" that balloon would've brought.  When you're old, 
gray and somewhat melancholy you'll wonder where you went wrong.
It happened the day you let go of the string...
You missed that piece of happiness your life would bring.

So...just to be safe- tie a KNOT around your wrist with that string and your balloon will never go missing.
your parents...  Love em' don't leave em.
