wednesdays homework for team crogner

I once gotten in trouble when I was curious about balloons. So I got this balloon and I put water in it to see if it would be as big as a regular balloon. It wasn't, so I turned off the water. But I didn't realize that it was not turned off all the way because I left the balloon on the faucet. So I left. And when I came back from Tae Kwon Do I accidentally flooded the 2ND floor of our house. When I came back the mess was already cleaned up by my aunt. It wasn't a big flood about 1 or 2 cm off the ground. When I told my parents about the flood, they were dissapointed because it cost a lot of money to fix the floor.
