So this weekend I went home to visit family, and ended up staying at my parents house. My Wife went to go visit a friend on Sunday, so I followed my Parents around. Since I was in Ohio, I decided to were my INGO tshirt!
Well, after a day of running all over the place and eating a nice 10oz ribeye, we went back to my parents house to set off fireworks for my sisters kids. I sat back and watched my sister, Dad, and Brother in Law set set off all types of delightful fireworks. Being the pyro that I am, I would of been setting them off myself, but I figured since I didn't purchase any, I would just sit back and help contain the kids and take the fireworks out of their packages.
Well, it was toward the end of the evening, and most of the fireworks have been depleted. While were were putting way some of my Dad's smaller unspent fireworks, my Sister (she's the older sister) was finishing off some of her little "light and throw" flashing fireworks (not sure what to call them, they barely put out a little sparkle and flash. Plus they were a whopping $.59). Then all of a sudden we hear a little pop sound and then Thud!, I get whacked in the chest with a fast, hot, fireball. Seems one of those cheap, small silly fireworks decided to become one of its bigger brothers, and took off, and I ended up being its unintended target. After the the laughter died down (yes I realize its always funnier when it doesn't happen to you) and everone got a chance to see if I was OK (I think that they just wanted to see the damage) we cleaned up and said our apologies (my sister to me for hitting me with the firecracker and me to her for teaching her 2 kids 2 new words that I hoped they didn't really hear) and went ot bed.
Oh and a pic of the "damage" that happened:
Oh and Fenway, would you be happening to be selling anymore INGO tshirts at the next gunshow, I seemed to be needing another?
Hope everyone had a Safe and Fun 4th!!!
