My friend slept over last night (He's still asleep now, shhhh), and we made a sparkler bomb. Just a small one with 50 sparklers, but we were still excited about it.
We went outside, placed it on the grass, and lit the one sparkler fuse. It burnt down, and we watched with excitement, but then nothing happened. My dad grabbed it (Such a control freak

), and took it up on the decking. He lit one on the side, and then all suddenly went alight, in a blaze of sparkers. He ran out, and put it on the grass, just in time, too. It kept sparkling for a second, then WHOOOSH!, a big jet of fire and sparks went into the sky!!
After that, it was just a little fireball on the grass

My dad lost all the hair on the back of his hand, too. (Serves him right

)
