    Mom, give Calvin a break, he’s at least more concerned with safety than your average boy with gunpowder.

    Source: My uncle who basically blew off his balls as a kid playing with gunpowder. His kids are all IVF.

      Lol there was this kid back in school. Not the brightest lad. Him and another one of my friends were lighting off homemade fireworks.

      After one of them didn’t go off, Thomas went over and looked down the tube. His face got it pretty good, he didn’t have eyebrows for almost an entire school year.

        Former friend found a container of gunpowder when we were in 6th grade. He poured it into a fast food cup and tried using a shoelace as a fuse, when that did not work he stood over the cup and dropped in a lit match. 30ish years later he still does not have eyebrows.
