An Image

I have this image in my head, it is a water balloon almost full of water, too full. And it is sitting under a faucet as one drip at a time falls into the balloon. I can even hear it...drip, drip, drip. The balloon is stretching and getting bigger, beyond what you would think it could, but it continues to expand. At what point will it finally reach its capacity and explode? Which drip will push it to the breaking point? And what will happen once it does? And who gets to clean up the mess when it happens?
