Run away little balloon

Recently, on our way somewhere (I don't remember where or when exactly since no one was bleeding), I saw a balloon floating up into the sky.

Wondering where it came from, I looked around.  I was frightened by what I saw.

A mother, on her knees, looking under her van.  A 2 year girl in one hand, playing a toddlers favourite game "Dead Weight".  There were 3 or 4 balloons in the other hand and a 6 year old boy beside her.

My first thought was please don't let that happen to me!  

My second thought was we must stop and help her.  

And my third thought was "Oh My Goodness.  I'm a mom!"
