Oh my golly gosh what was the Firework Incident??! :O
Well, we were walking around in the streets of a small, quiet town just an hour outside of Barcelona... exept it was midsummer eve and all the people were going crazy with singing and dancing and fireworks. There was little concept of safety to be seen anywhere. Suddenly I felt something hit me in the hip, and it turned out a kid (couldn't have been older than ten) had thrown a firecracker at me by accident. I'm not sure if it was actually a firecracker, but it was one of those small things you light and then throw and then they burn extremely hot and bight for a little while. Anyways, I looked down and there was a tiny sun attatched to my pants right at the hip.
This is where I get really lucky.
Firstly, my jeans might not have been very thick, but they were still made of good material and not the kind that melts immediately. Secondly, it was a hot night. So hot in fact, that I had taken off my jacket a little while earlier, and by then I had it twisted around my hand. This was lucky because my first instinct was to brush the thing off as quick as possible.
End result: burn mark on my jeans, burn mark right across my jacket, I got a shock (and made a funny sound), my family got a shock and the kid was
really sorry, but nobody was hurt.
My sister's having her babeh!!
I'm gonna be an uncle!!
