Lesson Learned

On July 4th we were having a bar-b-q and about to start popping fireworks outside, we were all having excited about it. My dad always takes us to buy fireworks, so we were waiting for him to take us. About ten minutes later he says to get ready to go buy fireworks. When we get there i start buying a lot of different kinds of fireworks. When we started popping fireworks my mom told me not to hold it in my hand and throw it, she said to put it on the floor and light it. I wasn't really paying any attention to what she was saying so i started lighting the fireworks in my hands, it was going real good i was throwing them right. I had found one with a short fuse and thought i would have enough time to toss it in the air, so when i lit it the firework popped right on my hand, it was hurting a lot. I had to go put my hands in some water with cold ice, ans i was thinking to myself about what my mom had told me, i wasn't ever going to to that again.
