I have boys. They are just like this. Every summer I purposely read them news stories about some dumbass who blew his junk off.
To be fair, I only played with the firecrackers that wouldn't blow my fingers off if mishandled.
Even as a 12 year old, I had a very healthy respect for anything larger than a regular sized firecracker.
Other kids would mess with M-80s, not me, not even close.3 -

yeah but that was back when quarter sticks and stuff were still actually terrifying. nowadays they're so watered down and even though you can make them yourself with stuff on amazon you'll end up on a watchlist if you try.3 -

word on the street that our M-80s were equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite.....
I don't know if that was true, but they sure sounded like it.2 -
Remember Columbia House... 10 CDs for a penny or something. My Mom was not impressed when she found out I signed up because I think each CD thereafter was over $20.5

i think the old ones like that, the only difference was that they didn't have nitroglycerin in them, and they were smaller of course.0 -

I took apart a little cardboard backed pinball game and thought I’d do a magic trick by putting the ball up my nose and pulling it out my ear. It worked great5 -

Speaking of fires, I was burning some letters (you know, catharsis and stuff) when I realized I had nowhere to put the burning papers before the fire reached my fingers. So I threw it in the plastic bin (full of more papers and other flammable material). By the time the fire died down, the bin was melted out of shape. My mom blamed my gran who was a smoker and I never corrected her 😳🤫4 -

For future reference, if you must do your cleansing burn in the house do it in the sink.4 -

Lesson learned! These days I think only a bonfire would suffice!3 -
One time I was supposed to be baby sitting my younger brothers but instead I was in my room watching tv. When I came out to check on them they had dumped a Costco size container of cinnamon on the brand new carpet and was running their toy trucks through the "hills". To top it off my brother tried to spray the kitchen sink "hose" on the mound to clean up the mess
I laughed so hard...was worth every bit of my dads anger and fury.4 -

I was supposed to babysitting my own children but instead I was doing laundry, cooking dinner, cleanIng the floors.
They got into my beginning prepper stash and dumped an entire five gallon bucket of brown sugar on the floor to run their dump trucks through.
I cried.2 -
