Sparklers aren't just for kids.

sparklers are the most dangerous firework of all...
 
Agreed.

We didn't let the kids have them when they were younger.

This year we allowed it.

But we're those ridiculous over-cautious kinds of parents. We have the hose running, a bucket full of water ready, we do the fireworks on a huge board in the middle of the yard away from everything else . . .

It was only last year that we allowed the kids to start lighting them.

For me is was "Here kid, have some firecrackers....(blackcats and M-80s of course) and bottle rockets. I think I was five?

They gave them to you? :(

We had to buy our own. Do you have any idea how many pop bottles you had to turn in to get a couple of Roman candles and some snakes?

That came later. Returnable pop bottles, so long ago.
 
Roman candles are cool, we used to have Roman Candle fights at twenty paces...:D

Did you ever get hit by a Roman Candle ball? EEEEEouch! :eek:
