When I was using the large pump I would introduce it to the kids and tell them
its name was Gooshie.  I also told them that it had that name because it gooshed
air into the balloons.  The kids were as intrested in the pump as they were the
balloons.  You can decorate these pumps.  I've seen a lot of them stripped like a
barber pole but I was going to have a face painted on my with his cheeks puffed
out like he was blowing.  Never did get around to that.  Had to stop using the
pump due to imflamation in my arms.  But it's a great pump.

Now that I use a battery powered pump (made out of a lunch box, house alarm
battery and a car horn compresser) I tell them there is a little guy living
inside and when I push the button he knows to put air into the balloon.
