I LOVE fireworks…BUT the sparklers (may be called “morning glory”?) the ones wrapped on colorful paper with a gold stripe usually – NOT the old-fashioned gray metal ones – they are super dangerous…I nearly started on fire last time we used them! It seems that inside the paper wrapping, the part of the sparkler that “sparkles”, was cracked into pieces and when my kids were waving them around (as you are supposed to do 😉 ) lit pieces that were “sparkling” were flying off everywhere (onto my clothing, our patio furniture cushions, etc.) by the time we realized what was happening, it was too late to avoid burned holes in fabric and luckily only minor skin burns on me (none on them! Phew!) We did “test” the remaining packages at a later date when nobody/nothing was nearby – burning pieces always flew off the end!!! And I purchased the packages at different places at different times, so it seems to me that it wasn’t just one bad package. The other bigger fireworks that are sold for a dollar are great tho — they don’t burn as long (quick thrill 😉 ) as the ones that look the same at the fireworks stands – but are PERFECT for a neighborhood driveway (fountain style fireworks). It was small enough to be safe if kids were not too near, and they were not at all loud! The pop-its are always a hit, too – especially in the dark 🙂
