- My father never let me play or buy with fireworks for two reasons. (1.) He thought they were too dangerous (though I think he probably thought I wasn’t very sharp) and that I’d end up doing something really dangerous unsupervised. (2.) He said it was nothing but money going up in smoke, and since he was a Depression Era child, I could reason with that. However, looking back at things, he was a smoker for most of his life so that’s a bit of a hypocritical comment. Part of me wishes I would have asked him about the double standard as a child, but then again, I don’t think I’d want to piss off the old man.
