Unexpected benefit - son's smiles!

[PaganPaul]

So my 9 year old got this "Incredi-Ball" thing for X-mas. It's a giant conglomeration of about 2 dozen beach ball like cells welded together to form a sphere. Once inflated, a kid can then climb inside and have a ball (pun intended) just rolling around the yard. (see picture below)

Yesterday the weather here in DC was nice enough that he wanted to try it out. Oh no! I thought to myself, It's going to take me hours to get this thing blown up! So I resigned myself to huffing and puffing until nightfall.

About 45 minutes later the job was completed, and I wasn't even slightly out of breath! And no, I did NOT use an air pump!

I've posted a picture below of my son with the Incredi-Ball. Vapeing has given me my lung capacity back, and that allowed me to bring a big, wide, toothy grin to my son's face.

And now the downside. I used to be able to blow smoke at my wife's foo-foo-dawg and it would go away. Now I blow vapor at the thing and it licks me.

Hate that dawg. Hate it.

[Scottbee]

Can you use it on the water?

Thats great and your son looks like he loves it too.

 

[SmilingSlasher]

Wow. That's great. Glad to hear you can breathe again!!!!


Oh......by the way.......Do you know if they make those things for a bigger kid? Say like a 6 an a half foot tall, 33 year old kid? LOL

Paul...congrats on your NEW lungs! Isn't it a great feeling? And speaking of great...that's an INCREDIBLE gift you gave your son. Looks like he's having a blast! YAY for you!

well actually i was wondering if they're big enough for a 6'2" 200 pound 32 year old "kid" to cram into and "demonstrate" for the kids and "ensure they are safe" for use lolol

 

[Kate51]

I love smile stories!!

I bought one for my 10 year old @ Target - same one . Cost 59$+ ish .. I used an air pump to it though-haha. Each square at a min or 2 each times about 20 squares. lol. Wouldnt be big enough to hold me @ 180lbs without leaking air out of it or popping a square.

My lady and I did that in Rotorua, New Zealand; big rolling fun.

Unfortunately, going by the reviews I'm seeing, the home version ("Gigaball" from Target) is only fun until it starts to fall apart - a few hours?!
