1. Wolfie lets Dad off the hook - blech reporting. n/t

[Botany]

2. Dad is so busted.

And a bad liar too.

[Zoeisright]

3. Wherever there is poutrage, there is also a lie.

You've been caught, 'Dad'. Man up.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Wait...garage, attic...what is it?

This story changes more times than Joan Rivers' face.

9. My garage has an attic space.

[jdadd]

5. this looks like an old skit....

on SNL...Jon Lovitz pathological Liar...."In the attic, yeah, that's the ticket"....:rofl:

I guess the kid can't stomach his dad's stories

[hmorehead]

10. What the hell is wrong with you? What "story" has dad told?

The kid had a six year old minute. I had them when I was that young and my kids had them, too. Fortunatly they didn't happen around balloons.

7. That kid in the red is old enough to understand whats going on...

he looks ashamed. Or maybe I'm just watching too much "Lie to Me."

[hmorehead]

11. Maybe being six and drowning in press and police officials over

a goofy kid thing might abash someone a tad. D'yer think?

[amyrose2712]

14. 9, and maybe because he filmed the balloon take off...

I have not seen a video, it is what I have read on here.

[hmorehead]

18. So its only a rumor. Where'd ya hear it, on Fox, O'Reilly, maybe?

[amyrose2712]

20. Actually, I saw the video on CNN. Thanks for jumping to conclusions...

while accusing me of jumping to conclusions. I did say maybe I am watching too much "Lie to Me". And I think you see the word "maybe".

[amyrose2712]

21. By the way, I "heard" it here on DU.

[hmorehead]

22. So where's "the film"? This much dunder over nothing? What about

Bangladesh, Palestine, the AGI bonuses, Iraq, Afghanistan .................

[amyrose2712]

23. Oh yeah, I totally agree with you. Honestly, I was kinda joking,

hence the reference to the TV show "Lie to Me" I will take the credit for being a douche and getting involved in this BS story. I blame my BF. Sorry for the confusion.

[amyrose2712]

24. I made no "dunder" I simply was practicing on my deception skills...

It appears they weren't too far off.

[hmorehead]

8. Maybe he answered this question before on another "show"

look, these people are mortified and never wanted to be on tv over anything like this. AIG is handing out $30 Billion and people are not covered by health insurance and here we are, beating up a six year old. No one will ever know what exactly happened because the witnesses are small children and the people involved will be the butt of jokes for a long time. Quit looking for some secret agenda.

12. does anyone actually believe anything this family says?

[davidhilton]

13. wolf is a joke n/t

[onlyadream]

15. fake fake fake

and I don't blame the kid (I feel sorry for all the kids in that family). The parents are poor actors and the story doesn't jive. They even have a video of the thing going up which makes the story (and I do mean "story") much stranger. When the kid was asked why he didn't come out when everyone was yelling for him, you could see his expression - he was confused. Then he spilled the beans. Time to come clean and apologize!

[Postman]

16. I'm constantly launching helium balloons from my roof....why is this weird?

:sarcasm:

17. CHECK OUT THIS---> _-->

I GUESS THE FAMILY DIDNT GET ENOUGH $$$$fame$$$$ FROM THEIR WIFE SWAP ADVENTURE...

notice when DAD realizes that he CANNOT ask part 2 of the question.... uh oh.... better go REPUBLICAN on this and BLAME THE QUESTION

[hmorehead]

19. Y'all takin' this all too serious, This guys in big trouble. He looks like a goof or even a

negligent dad, he's going to br presented with a bill from some guvmint entity, he may recieve FAA snctions, his credibility as prefessional is maybe doubted. He doesn't seem to be stupid and he does demonstrate sheepishness. Cut this guy some slack - there's a house being forclosed every 7 seconds accourding to Micheal Moore.
