My dad would drive like a maniac towards the edge of town, pick a spot on the side of the road and pull over.<BR/><BR/>We got to sit on hood of the car to watch the fireworks display. And while we waited, we'd do sparklers.<BR/><BR/>Happy 4th, everyone!<BR/><BR/>My brother always waved them around and got yelled at for being wild. My sister would usually cry because she was scared, and I would try to block them all out because being with my family on the side of the road was so embarrassing.Stephanie J.

Well, check out this link to see the T-shirt I was wearing just last night:<BR/><BR/>http://www.threadless.com/product/889/I_Don_t_Want_To_Grow_Up#zoom<BR/><BR/>I completely agree with you. There are good things about being "grown up" but not so much that you ever have to let go of the good things of being a kid! <BR/><BR/>P.S. my word verification is "nnuppy" -- isn't that a funny word?Laini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-37882733829184100462007-07-04T07:37:00.000-07:002007-07-04T07:37:00.000-07:00Hey Eve,thanks for taking up my tag.

But mom would save the fireworks from October till July and we'd have some then too ;)<BR/>"From age 3 to 8 I lived in the most perfect little Southern California neighborhood, where all the kids were the same age and all the parents were the best of friends" Sounds like you could start your own Lake Woebegone, Southern California Home Companion!<BR/>And I for one am all for NEVER growing up ;)rilla jaggiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259015787424108654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-67009266410800054742007-07-04T06:53:00.000-07:002007-07-04T06:53:00.000-07:00Ooh--I'll have to do the earliest memory on my blo...Ooh--I'll have to do the earliest memory on my blog later. BUT...this is so funny. I don't remember at ALL what the little black worms looked like at the start, but I totally remember the ashy worms lying all over the driveway the next morning--after my dad and his best friend did warring fireworks displays (Lions vs. Kiwanis) on the 4th. AND--probably my first crush, too--one of the older Moreno boys popping wheelies on his bike up and down the street. Obviously showing off for us little girls, and it completely worked!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the trip back in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-39080305274085073022007-07-04T05:30:00.000-07:002007-07-04T05:30:00.000-07:00My little Peter Pan sister (in a good way, of cour...My little Peter Pan sister (in a good way, of course)! Guess what I decided to do to celebrate the 4th? Have a block party with all my neighbors and their kids with swimming and fireworks. It won't be quite the same as Sycamore Street, but I'm tryin'. And, I'll be watching J.B. to see if he "marries" anyone - unlikely, since he usually chases the girls around with play weapons, but a mom can hope, right? Thanks for "sparking" some memories for me. Happy 4th, love you, mean it, LamyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
