That was hysterical!

When my sister was very little she took a flight with my mom to Florida.

Someone gave her a balloon and when the plane reached altitude it burst which startled everyone and then she started crying and wouldn't stop for a long time.

A while later she looked out the window and I guess the wing was shaking or flexing so she screamed "The wing is breaking, the wing is breaking!!" This startled everyone a lot more than the balloon...

According to my mom airline passengers really don't like being startled [twice] while 50,000 feet in the air, lol.
