Don't worry, it's not torture. It's "enhanced" fun.

Adding video to channels (Kids) - requested by ant.

Aww, it's rare we see a great family prank video where no one is scared or hurt.

Cute and sweet. A child's laughter is the best.

(Except if he's like my oldest son who starts violently vomiting after laughing too much.)

Extremely watery rendition

And not a crybaby among them. I guess no future Videosifters. (Self included.)

I really love the sentence "He reckons there was about 200 litres in it when it burst."

Strewth! I've blown my cover...

I was paraphrasing the info on the original video which said

We figure there was about 52 gallons of water in the balloon.

Kids can love to be teased....

One of my favorite memories is being at a potluck where I didn't know many people. There was a little girl, maybe 4 years old, running around in a big circle throughout the house, who kept running near me as I lounged on a bean bag chair. As she ran past, I would try to grab her. (I was a 30 year old woman, not a man, by the way.) She would shriek and run away from me.

Every time she came by, her shrieks got to be more and more terrified, it seemed to me. That the fun was going out of it. So I thought -- you'd better back off, this isn't fun anymore, you don't know this kid.

So she circles back again, but this time I don't go for her. She stops a few feet away from me. Her eyes are HUGE as she stares at me. I'm getting seriously worried that I have scarred this unknown kid for life. She takes a tiny step forward. I do nothing. She takes another step forward. I do nothing.

She takes one more step forward, her eyes locked on mine with complete focus. In a deep unnatural voice, thrumming with energy, drawn out in anticipation, she intones -- "Scaaaaare me."

That happened 30 years ago and it still tickles the holy heck out of me.
