Fuck fireworks....unless launched by trained professionals.
We went to my father in law's Upstate property for the 4th and the neighbor across the road always puts on a fireworks show on a hill on FIL's property. One of his buddies accidentally placed a box of mortar's upside down and almost took out 12 people. The grand finale was capped off by a huge explosion which I later found out was tannerite. Fucking nut jobs.
One kid had a box of sparklers and all the kids wanted one, including my 4 year old daughter. I told her NO because they can cause serious burns.....but my sister in law said oh what's the big deal and gave her one anyway after fashioning a hand protector out of a plastic cup. So of course what happens....her 5 year old burns his hand and 5 seconds later my daughter starts crying hysterically when she burned her hand. Thankfully neither kid was seriously injured.
