Guy Fawkes

So on Friday night it was Guy Fawkes. DD was only going on 4mths last year so it didn't really affect her in anyway. This year DD was 15mths and I thought I would keep her up to watch them. Bro number 1s partner asked if she would be ok as she knows other kids that aren't. I said I would see, just take her outside and if she acts up then bring her in to watch from inside. If she still was unsettled I'd just put her to bed.

One of her aunts had her and we spent the first half our going woooowwww wowww everytime a firework was let off. She got a bit of a fright when there was a crackling, yet bizzarely the loud bangs didn't bother her. I took her off her aunt and sat down with her to watch some more... Well what do you know DD is so her father's daughter and fell asleep watching them (her father can sleep through a digger in the driveway next door). So all in all we had a rather uneventful night with her and I ended up putting her to bed.

It got better though a few of bro#3's friends came round at about 10pm as you do. At this stage we were over the fireworks but they wanted to let some off... Ok thats cool. Only thing is they had just watched Jackass 3d... you know how that goes.

One friend decides its a great idea to put a roman candle in his mouth (yes I know smart cookie not something I condone and glad that the kids were gone or in bed at this stage) Then it gets suggested he puts it in his butt... so he does. Without thinking he turns around and shoots me with the firework, it kinda just bounced off and hits one of the other guys in the mouth.

One of the other guys burns SIL's top. And one of the two of them very skilled like shoots one of down the drive way across the road and it explodes on the corner of the house.

Guy Fawkes/fireworks and Jackass don't mix!
