I’m a little confused- was the joke that she cares about the cost of the balloons, or the fact that they are inflated? Inquiring minds want to know…
I doubt kids worry too much about inflation. At that stage they are like politicians that believe there is an endless supply of money from some magic money tree.
“Inflation” is not a problem, shock is. If inflation was 7% a year for 30 years we would know and expect it, it would be factored in to things like loans and pay. The problem is when inflation changes rapidly and we don’t know what the cost of goods will be tomorrow. The current rate of inflation is a global concern, it is labor getting a fairer wage, it is consumers willing to pay more for goods today than waiting a few days, it is shortages caused by unexpected work stoppages world wide, it is corporations taking record profits. When your supply chain contains multiple links and those links stop and go at unexpected rates it pushes up costs. When the pandemic eases inflation will ease. Just breathe, you will be ok.

At least she had an answer. Most kids would probably be more like “What?” or “Huh?”

Her worry is that she won’t be able to spend her parents money while it’s still worth something. :)
