Balloons

This is Andy. He was walking around one day and stumbled across two balloons. While being inanimate objects, Andy thought something was odd about them. He noticed they had faces, like his face. Although they had facial features and such, they did not speak. They did not move. They did not do anything. They just floated there. Andy found some comfort knowing that there were other things in this world as boring as him. Andy was overjoyed at this notion. He began to think that this is just the beginning. More boring things? just like Andy? Thinking about it made Andy swell with glee.

He didn't realize that while he was day dreaming and thinking of all this, the balloons decided to float away into the sky.

Were they even there in the first place?
