    Love the assumptions that are always made on this site for everything.. I am sure as a kid, well at least for me … curious choices were made . For example, playing with fire or fire works on your own, riding your bike too far or not where your supposed to be , climbing roofs on top of schools or your own house , ding dong ditch… it’s called being a kid !! People forget !!! Look back in your childhood and think of those times! What you weren’t supposed to do but you did it anyway….

      Perhaps handing him the firework, or lighting it for him, or yelling “No, keep back!” while racing towards him.
      The article has no particulars so that is a wide range of possibilities.
