Little Tommy Johnson was officially declared the saddest child ever on Monday, when his colorful bunch of balloons was torn from his grasp by a strong wind and floated over the mountains.

Johnson, 7, has not been able to stop crying in the 24 hours since the incident occured. "I...just...want...my...balloons...back," he hiccoughed as he wiped his face with a worn looking teddy bear. While his parents have given up trying to retrieve the balloons, they're doing their best to develop a compromise that will end Tommy's suffering. At press time, they were debating between a Transformer or a Ninja Turtle action figure.

BREAKING NEWS: Tommy's balloons have been spotted in Manitoba, Canada. They appear to have become entangled in a moose's antlers. The moose is currently being ostracized by it's herd.
