Hi everyone. Welcome to Mother Knows Death. Let's get started with this week's six shocking stories. I don't know about you because like I feel like I had a really sheltered

So do you have any stories of people playing with them growing up? I don't know why you don't

remember people playing with fireworks because your uncle Louis

border or something and getting fireworks and bringing them home and putting them off in the

yard.

And my mom let him when he was like 10 or 12 years old,

by the way. So these are prime candidates of these kinds of stories that we're talking about

as my own family. Yeah, I mean, maybe I was just too little to remember. I just, I don't have any

memories like in our backyard growing up of anybody playing with them or any my friends that I knew playing

with them. Yeah, because I probably, when Louie was in the backyard doing it, I probably had you

on the opposite side of the house because I didn't want you to get blown up or something.

Yeah. And then like fast forward. I'm a teen, I'm not a teenager necessarily necessarily I was 19 years old and I moved into the city
