Had to go to Maine to find a ball

I read like a month ago that now was a good time developmentally to introduce a ball during playtime. I have since been in search of a ball that was not too big and didn't have holes in it. Turns out that the only place to find a ball like this is in Portland Maine. Also, I should tell you that I made a small child cry when I purchased this ball. See- the shop keeper's son was playing with it and I had found another ball, but noticed that his was smaller so I asked if we could have a small one. Turns out his was the last one and when his mom took it from him he disintegrated into tears. I felt like a total jerk. He perked up though when his mom let him help ring us up. So to get a great small rainbow colored ball you have to travel to Maine and take it from a small child.
