Well, I would say it's more than one 4th of July put together, but picture all of the in-laws, kids, great grandmas in wheelchairs, etc. sitting outside the family motel waiting for the firework "show."

Let me preface this with, I never buy the fireworks, but somehow get tasked of lighting them off. (Okay honey.) So sometimes I can only guess what these fireworks do. Anyways, I thought it was "safe," I put the firework between some cinderblocks even. I lit that firework, backed away, and somehow, even with the blocks, it tipped over and pointed directly at the family motel and the whole family!

I ran so fast (it was in slow motion, though), I kicked it over in the other direction, but now towards the front of the motel is a parking lot, restaurant, bank and county jail (police station) so all of the projectiles are going under cars and at all those buildings and I am just really lucky I didn't get one up my shorts and nobody and nothing was hurt! So yeah, that's what happens to me on the 4th in a nutshell. Everyone, be safe out there!

That's one of those stories that never dies! :gig

Are you still in charge of lighting the fireworks?

Yeah, that was the funny thing, just how nonchalant everyone was. (If it was my family, it definitely would have ruffled some feathers, and I probably wouldn't have any left afterwards!) I don't even think they put the kabosh on anything, but we probably chose ones that were a little less "exciting." I didn't learn my lesson because we repeated a similar scenario with my dad once after that incident. It didn't knock over but those things were flying horizontal! I think I'm ready to hand over my punk for sure, after that!

We have lots of tribal reservations around here that can sell any kind of firework they want, so I think shopping there is mostly our problem. 😄
