Daisy and I were practicing with her herding ball this week when it had a close encounter with a barbed wire fence causing it to lose it's rotundity. Later that evening I logged onto Amazon with the intent to order a couple of more balls and decided to shop around and see what else was available. I came across a giant beach ball that caught my eye and scrolled down to look at the customer reviews and came upon one that I got quite a chuckle from. It goes like this . . . .
3 out of 5 stars: A fun way to ruin a weekend and blow 100 bucks
We took this ball to the each and after close to 2 hours to pump it up, we pushed it around for about 10 fun filled minutes. That was when the wind picked it up and sent it hurdling down the beach at about 40 knots. It destroyed everything in it's path. Children screamed in terror at the giant inflatable monster that crushed their sand castles. Grown men were knocked down trying to save their families. The faster we chased it, the faster it rolled. It was like it was mocking us. Eventually, we had to stop running after it because it's path of injury and destruction was going to cost us a fortune in legal fees. Rumor has it that it can still be seen stalking innocent families on the Florida panhandle. We lost it in South Carolina, so there is something to be said about its durability.
