I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th this year! :D ( well, every year really.... it's not contingent on it being THIS year, per se, every year I want you to be safe...!! ;D )
Today the kids are busy painting pictures of fireworks and last night we watched our neighbors burn their money and enjoyed the delights of gunpowder and China combined! :D Tonight we will probably go to our local park and watch their fantastic display and then carefully wind our way back through the neighborhood which generally approaches a war zone on the night of the 4th! :D
Every time we see a fireworks display I am reminded of my younger brother. We'd been to see a firework display one evening and were home in bed, supposedly sleeping. My brother was reliving the night's pyrotechnics....
"Pccccchhheewwwwww.......
..BOOOM.........
zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ BOOOOM.....
...scccreeeeeeeeeeee........
BOOOOOOOM!!!!"
My Dad came into the bedroom looking a touch disturbed! "WHAT are you DOING THOMAS?!?!"
"I'm playing fireworks, Dad." He answered reasonably.
"Well.... " Dad said, somewhat at a loss for words..... "..... just play the colors then!!!"
"ok Dad..... " said Tom.
Dad left the room and as he was closing the door behind him he heard Tom .....
"......ffffffccccchhhhheeeeewwwwwwwww ....
.........RED!!!!!!!..
..........scrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeee........BLUE!!!!!!......."
LOL!!!!!
