People just get stupider and stupider.
Many people take a careless approach to using fireworks. We were over visiting family yesterday. They were allowing their kids to toss those little sparkler balls after they were lit. Then, finally, they allowed a little girl to hold a Roman candle in her hand after it was lit. - Never allowed our kid to do that; he had to stick the candle in the ground, then light it. - I wanted to say something; but this relative thinks he invented *SMART*, & I’m just a stupid know-nothing relative. The kids’ mother is German; and, as you may or may not know, “SMART” is her middle name.
*That* has been rammed down my throat for quite a while now.
