attach balloons to 

(verb) to turn an legal, but still frowned upon by society behavior, into a trend or fad.
a boy comes home from school, goes into his backyard and starts attaching helium balloons to his lawn chair.

his mother comes into the backyard from the house and starts shrieking at him: Adam, what the beep are you doing?.

Adam: can I attach balloons to this lawn chair without being bloody disturbed? I am trying to build an amateur flying machine and turn amateur flying machine building among modern teenagers into a trend. I want modern teenagers to be like Inspector Gadget and maybe, lol, fly away from their computer illiterate.

What a parking ticket. I guess we'll just have to repair the damage, maybe even repaint the door.

eat your carrots and broccoli 

used instead of the phrase "don't ask too many stupid/irrelevant questions and just do as you are told".
a boy, eating, lol, carrots, brocolli, and other stewed vegetables for breakfast, asks his dad:

boy: dad, why do i have to go to class?

dad: because it's fun, you can socialize with people outside the family circle, George. And you gain knowledge that will later permit you to make something out of yourself. And, please, because I am in a bad mood since yesterday, having gotten a parking ticket. Please eat your carrots and broccoli. Then just pick up your things so I can take you to class.
