balancing

I had been been sitting here for quite some time before noticing this scene which, for lack of a better expression, made my heart stop:

I'd like to think that he did not actually climb up, but you never know...  

He might bring up the subject of the ballon in the morning, or he might not.  

Either way I won't mention it until he does.

edit:  he did bring it up the next evening; saying something about not being able to reach it by standing on the chair, and about not standing on the other chair on top of it.
