Fireworks at last

Went over to see fireworks and then it rains. Go over to Dairy Queen since fireworks are probably cancelled. Then it stopped raining so we try again. Lots of people are coming so maybe they will have them. Light a few sparklers and niece runs away from them. Fine, we aren't lighting anymore. We bought these things for her not for us. After an hour of watching other kids brave enough to play with them, she decides to try. She holds the stick and naturally lets go when I light it. OK, no more. I refuse to light anymore until she holds the sparkler stick. She agrees to hold it. She stares at it instead waving it like the other kids. She is too close to my sister's blanket so try to direct her away from my sister. She rejects my pushing her away from her mommy and turns around to point the sparkler directly at my sister spraying her and people nearby with sparks. Then she cries when grab her arm and I yell at her how she almost hurt her mommy. Now the fireworks begin as she cries on my sister's lap. Wonderful to see.
