OT - Getting Old...?

RedSkip

I just snapped on my neighbor kid for lighting fireworks in his driveway.  Not because it's dangerous, but rather cause our two year sleeps next to their side of the house.  

Tell me I'm getting old and need to chill... Crazy how quickly our perspectives change.  
BTW, it's 9:45 pm, perhaps that's my justification.

Miles away we can hear the launching of fireworks in the city, go figure now I feel bad.


Thanks for listening...

The problem with today's technology is there's a lack of kids playing outside to yell at.

I knew I was getting old when my testicles stopped floating. Now they sink straight to the bottom. Sure sign of old age.

If ever a day to lighten up it is the celebration of Independence Day-USA.
That said, I can understand your parent response.  
BTW-old is quite relative-the last time I was a parent of a two year old was 23 years ago. I am old    Happy Birthday USA.

Thanks for the honest advice, today is the day to celebrate.  Appreciate your perspective!

My old neighbours kid was a gear head and could not leave the driveway with squealing the tires down the street. Having napping babies at the time, I did not appreciate that. 
We had a chat.

Wilma's dog goes bananas over fireworks and thunderstorms.  We got him on doggie downers right now.
edit:  It wasn't that long ago I was the one lighting the fuse.

I think being a fan of Bubbles helps you stay young.

I played basketball with my 13 year old nephew today... I'm only 35 but it made me feel old...

Come back and talk to me when they hang out side your cargo shorts while you are standing up, that's being old.

Didn't they do that in Bad Grandpa?

I guess I don't act my age.  I was the one that took some gifts to the fireworks stand I go every year, because I got 30 % off.  My 7 year old son fell asleep on his mom's lap tonight around 9:30 or so.  By the way I will be 52 in less then 24 hours and I refuse to grow up all the way, but I do understand about the kid shooting off fireworks near you're kids bedroom.

My wife told me if I woke our daughter up I had to stop lighting them off. Kids a trooper she slept through 24 shots of canister shells. If it was like 12 I would say you were ok but 945 it's barely dark out.

Yup, you're over reacting. Let your neighbor's celebrate the '4th of July'. It only comes once a year. You must be one heck of a neighbor to complain about fireworks at 9:45 PM.

I'm with a couple military veterans for the 4th and feel awful when they jump when startled by the loud firework booms. They aren't thinking fireworks. They don't say a word but you can read their body language. If they can get through it for one night I'd give the neighbor kid a pass. Tomorrow night at 945 I might start getting a little annoyed.

I think they have mess for that! Actually, I know they do!

@dougcrann my wife just asked my why I was crying... In laughter. The nut bra is too funny.
