One day I went to Keagen’s house to do fireworks. His mom was worried about us hurting ourselves and didn’t like us playing with them. She said she had to leave later to go to her relatives house and she was going to get ready and pack up. Keagen and I went in side to get a lighter because the one we had wasn’t working. Mr. Viening helped us find one inside and said to be careful and don’t do anything stupid. When we went back outside Juliet was in the garage and playing on her scooter laughing. She hated it when Keagen didn’t pay attention to her. Before we lit fireworks off we got distracted (as usual) and we found a pile of old wood boards. We were practicing board breaking for our karate classes with the boards. It was a cold day that day, about 45 degrees outside. Mr. Veining called us inside because he wanted us to take a break from the cold and get warmed up and he needed to do something in the garage for a few minutes. After a 20 minute break we went back out and Mrs. Veining told us to take all the fireworks out of the truck because she had to leave. When she had left we started lighting off fireworks. We were using some that looked like tiny sticks of dynamite and you light them and the explode one after another in a line. We detached them from the main strand and set individual ones off. We thought it would be fun to try and blow things up, so we buried one, leaving just the fuse out, and watched as the ground above it exploded. We put others in a cardboard box and made it explode. Next, we started a new strand of fireworks, and the first one we took off we had an idea that we wanted to try. We grabbed it, lit it and then as we were putting it down it exploded in our hands. It hurt both of us, and we then looked at the next one on the strand, and it’s fuse was cut as well. Someone cut the fuses on all the fireworks on that strand.

Solution: Mrs.Veining didn’t like us always messing around with fire works and when she had to go pack up the truck earlier that day she cut the fuses to teach us a lesson for playing with fireworks.
