Laura, this certainly brings back a lot of memories. It was always a challenge to know when to stop filling the darn things. They are really fun at school or in formal settings.

Oohh I remember those water balloon tossing contests! Love the word play in the last line... I could hear the giggles very clearly.

They used to be fun in the summer. Good way to describe them here.
