When I was a kid I used to enjoy playing at our back yard one day i found a used condom and I thought it was a balloon so I blew it (yuck) and proudly showing it to my friends my mom saw me playing at it and got mad at me and angrily took the condom from me..I was so confused and was crying she said it was a very bad balloon that if I kept playing at it I will be funished. One day I saw a lot of wrapped unused condoms in my uncle's house that used to work with the Population control office and told him I saw some bad balloons and that he'll be funished if he didn't threw them away. I have never known what are condoms for until when I became adult.
