Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 There was Canada Day and the Fourth of July. Did you all make it through okay? Anyone get overwhelmed at parties or anything. Against my better judgement, I decided to go to the fireworks display this year. I deliberately chose an area which seemed quieter than most and sat down. There were two very young girls sitting with their parents that seemed quiet and well behaved, so I thought nothing of sitting there. The second the fireworks display started, they both started yelling " WOW! Their parents -who were already fairly well inebriated- just fdrank more beer and encoraged them. So the kids did it through the whole display, even though nearby people were giving the four of them dirty looks. The father just gave them mean looks back and drank more beer (and it is illegal to have an open can of alcohol at that particular festivity I might add). Some teenagers nearby started shouting " WOW! " just to see if they could get the kids to be quiet, or send a message to the parents maybe, but that didn't work either. The fireworks display comes once a year and every year it seems to get ruined by somebody. I would have got up and moved during the display, but I figured there was NO WAY that these kids could continue screaming like that for the whole 45 minute display. Little did I know until the very end that their dad was wetting their throats with sips of beer out of his can. These girls could not be more than five years old.
