Was I silly for stealing a balloon on free balloon day
Well it sounds silly. Why did you want to steal a free balloon?
It's not my fault that I feel like a kid and I want to play with balloons and my idiot parents think that they're doing the right thing if they don't allow their children to do innocent things like get a free balloon.
It can be fun to do silly things as long as no one gets hurt. Pretending you're stealing something when that thing is free for you to take sounds harmless!
Wait did you call stealing harmless?
Well not exactly. I said it's harmless to pretend you're stealing when the item was free for you to take. This simply isn't stealing, so you're in the clear.
