The Fourth of July

Yea: It's almost the Fourth of July! And you know what that means, right? Why, it means fireworks and firecrackers and the risk of kids blowing their hands off with them!

It seems to me that there's a definite series of stages human beings evolve through with regard to fireworks as they age:

1.) Childhood: Fireworks are fun! Let's get some and light 'em up!

2.) Parental Age: Fireworks are dangerous! Kids could blow their hands off with those things!

3.) Middle Age: I don't care about the noise or the danger, so long as I don't have to listen to any of it.
