I am usually quite good at inflating mouse ear balloons, even the very first one I ever did I inflated without problem. Well my winning streak has been defeated by this little bastard.... No matter what I did I couldnt get him to cooperate with me and eventually I feared loosing him without getting to enjoy his rubbery body. So I cut my losses, tied him off and had my way with him regardless of whether or not he was properly inflated.
