Fireworks...My New Best Friend
Last night two of my best friends and I went to my aunt's house for dinner with most of my extended family. My cousins had gone to North Carolina and bought bags and bags of M-80's, Morning Glories, Fire Dancers, and all these others whose names I can't remember. My friends and I had been on the computer most of the evening, but then we heard a loud bang that sounded like a gunshot, and my cousin saying, "WAS THAT NOT THE COOLEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN??". We went outside and saw a garbage can on it's side, water EVERYWHERE, and my two cousins and my brother laughing and looking amazed. Aparently M-80's are waterproof. So, we decided to join them and be pyrotechnicians. We all filled the garbage can with water, and stepped back as the boys lit 3 M-80's (which are still illegal) and dropped them into the water simultaneously (this was OUR idea!!) They ran back to where we were sitting about 15 feet away and we watched as sparks and water flew. After that, we tried new ideas. Winding the fuses together, lighting one, then throwing them. We lit 20 Morning Glories at once and held them at arm's length. We set off Fountains and Firedancers and screamed with delight when the lifelike fire balls went for our feet. The one thing that confuses me is the legislature law stating the fireworks are now legal. My cousin told me that they had meant to say that only sparklers were legal but messed up writing it and it really said that anything that sparkles was legal. But then how come M-80's are still illegal? Ok, stupid question. Did you know that if you set them off underwater in a lake they blow the skins off of fish? I suggest that each one of you go to South of the Border and get yourself a bag full of sparkly stuff. After all, it IS legal!!
