Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
I took the boy outside to light fireworks and I thought my wife was going to lose it. I guess she thought I was going to blow him up or do some Mythbusters shit, I don't know.
In the end, he had to stand with her like 30 yards away while she held a fire extinguisher. Apparently it's OK for me to maim or burn myself, but the kid was safe.
Drunk Dad feels no pain.
Or just the usual, you know, never let her leave the house unless approved.

Also, this has generally been opposite for me. I was raised by overprotective grandparents so I never got to even play with sparklers but as I got older I did more stuff on my own and was exposed to such wonderful things such as someone throwing an entire box of artillery shells into a camp fire, or setting a field on fire with bottle rockets, or having the paint burned off the hood of my car and a seemingly permanent burn mark on my windshield via another artillery shell. Good times.

I never really did dangerous fireworks stuff growing up
Most we did was light them off down on a beach near Homer with a bunch of other people who were camping/fishing that weekend too.
And even then, the adults were pretty good about it. They'd have assembled stands for the various rockets and were able to chain light them from a bit away. Cool stuff.
I like watching them on tv cause I can see the pretty w/o the booming sounds. Don't like that bit

THAT ISN'T WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THOSE
With a pile of it, you can melt hot wheels cars.

obviously this is the better option
Noooope
Best I've done is hold a bottle rocket thingy.
And that was with friends a few years ago
At the neighborhood bbq/fireworks stuff a few years ago we had one of those medium sized ones fall over before it went off. It shot at a garage door, which it then bounced off and went across the street where it did its blast. That was kinda scary. Pretty sure no one got hurt.
Spoken like a man who has never had roman candle fight.
Or third degree burns.
You've clearly never had roman candle wars.
Never had third degree burns, but I did have to throw away clothes because of burn holes.
Roman candle wars are 1st among the wars of my brethren.
2nd would be blow dart gun wars.
3rd will always be good old fashion rock wars.
and aim them at your brother?
you just need a glove or something.
oh your brother, he's fucked, but you'll be ok with a glove on.

He's having flashbacks.
dudes bringing in illegal fireworks by the truckload
they had to stop because they got somewhere near 100 noise complaints called into the police department one year

Do you, like, fasten them to a vehicle maybe? Suspend them in the air from balloons?
I don't get it. Those both sound much more dangerous.

the other part of it is that there were a lot of four or five year olds running around and maybe we stopped just in time to avoid one of them taking a roman candle off the face
Or, you know, people with pets, or small children
that's silly
Well in Dutch that only tells us:
"niet in de hond houden" (do not hold in dog)
hond = dog
hand = hand
