Science by Sam.

Sam: "You'd have to make the balloons heavier than the weight so they'd fly away."

Me: "You mean lighter than, right?"

Sam: "Oh yeah. The balloon would have to be lighter than... wait. It would have to be strong. You'd have to put A LOT of air in there."

Me: "Or a lot of helium."

Sam: "What's helium?"

Me: "It's the gas they use to fill up balloons that makes them light enough to fly away."

Sam: "Yeah, they'd have to put a lot of helium in there. Or a rock. That would make it really strong."
