Child Who Just Lost Balloon Begins Lifelong Battle With Depression

SAN DIEGO—Shortly after losing grip of a helium-filled balloon and watching it float into the air above the San Diego Zoo Tuesday, local child Caleb Tremont, 3, reportedly began a battle with chronic depression that will last for the rest of his life.

Before Tremont even realized what was happening, sources confirmed the balloon’s ribbon slipped from his hand, drifting up and out of reach and etching into his memory an image that years later will come to represent the overwhelming despair at the core of his life-defining mental illness.

I have a very vivid memory of losing a dolphin-shaped helium balloon in a flea market as a child

Best way for a balloon to go.

Nothing worse than an old wrinkly balloon, which has lost it's youthful firmness and have found a corner of your room to die in.

Nice. I hadn't seen that one.

I did enjoy this one the other day: http://www.theonion.com/article/report- ... es-r-52430
