He also has a child of his own and I can't wait to see what happens when she grows old enough to want to shoot off her own rockets on the Fourth of July! Will he be as amiable with his little girl? I have my doubts!DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-12764524000516156982009-09-20T03:25:35.454+01:002009-09-20T03:25:35.454+01:00This story made me smile.

His mother wouldn't allow it in his own. I only found this out later. I also remember a can of lighter fuel he bought for a beach bonfire when we took them all down to the shore for my son's annual birthday get-together with four of his best friends, to start a barbecue when needed he said. Scared me silly and I awaited with trepidation as the Fourth approached. Well, the young man survived his childhood and is now a jet fighter pilot.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-6309295389594103362009-09-17T20:48:53.820+01:002009-09-17T20:48:53.820+01:00Jarie-Lyn - cricket is a mystery to most of us Bri...Jarie-Lyn - cricket is a mystery to most of us Brits too - but it really is an absorbing game!<br />Sylvia - you knew your cousin before I knew him . . . you must have seen the signs ;-)jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-58533900999534144942009-09-17T18:17:01.571+01:002009-09-17T18:17:01.571+01:00Haaaahahaha!

I'll have to look that up so I can get a better visual image.~JarieLyn~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02519086938256175022noreply@blogger.com
