Homecoming Balloons

Me: Okay, the balloons are in my closet. Now, there are 50 pink and 50 silver but only 25 of the black. Remember that when you are planning out your rows.

 . . . later . . .

Decorating girl:  We decided to put the rest of the balloons on the floor.

Me:  Oh, I thought you were going to do three rows on the ceiling.

Decorating girl: Yeah, but there weren't enough black balloons to continue our pattern.
