“This time, I wanted to have the people we love participate as well. Plus, it would have been great for photos.”

“We were giving instructions and I specifically told them we would all do it together,” Shannon said.
“I even told them that if anyone blew it up early, I would kill them. So the fact that it actually happened was more of a surprise and disappointment than an upset.”
David’s mother didn’t explain why she blew it up early, but Shannon believed it was because her monster brother-in-law “wasn’t listening.”
