Birthdays are supposed to be a time for celebration and fun, right? Well, not for this 23-year-old guy who tried to make his family understand his girlfriend's trauma. His girlfriend, only 19, has a deep-rooted fear of loud noises due to her traumatic childhood. She's working on it in therapy, but it's still a struggle. So, when our protagonist invited her to his niece's birthday party, he asked his family to avoid popping balloons around her. Little did he know that this simple request would lead to a dramatic family showdown. 😳🎈
