A lot of children have only seen amature twisters. Either someone from church or a parent who decided that it was easier to buy a pump and a bag of balloons than it was to hire someone that knew what they were doing. So in those sort of situations I start throwing out suggestions and ideas. Some are sculptures I feel like making, some are pure nonsense..."shoelaces." Also, I don't always let the child tell me what they want, I am the clown and I know just what type of balloon you need. If they really want something in particular I'll make it to avoid a scene but if not then voila... It is a Venusian hot plate!
