Balloon

This evening as David and I left school we saw a solitary balloon ascending past us into the darkening sky. This led David to tell me some interesting facts about helium - I didn't realise that helium is a non-renewable resource and the world's reserves of the gas will run out in the near future. David knows so many things about science. As we drove home I switched on the radio and guess what song started? "Ninety-nine red balloons" by the 1980s German rock band Nena. David and I were both amazed as we had both been thinking of the song! Serendipity!
