Fireworks?

I don't get it.  This year we were at my Aunt Heather and Uncle Mark's house and we could see fireworks from their lawn.  Why do you people insist on shooting things up in the air that make noise and flash bright lights? This was my first year being around fireworks and I've decided I don't like them.  I don't like loud noises and I don't like bright lights.  I'll pass on future 4th of July celebrations.

Except for the food.  I like hamburgers and hot dogs.

Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend!
