children on adult's shoulder for fireworks

[Prudence]

If you are so obsessed with making it kid-focused, then how about all the kids who are too big to be hoisted up on daddy's shoulders, or whose daddies aren't strong and able-bodied enough to lift them? And who at least saw SOMETHING over 6 foot heads, but whose view is utterly obliterated by 8 ft monsters?

Actually, those are the kids I feel sorry for. Those are the kids that are young enough to still be truly touched by magic, old enough to treasure the memories forever, too big to sit on shoulders, and too short to see.

[And gee, guess I'd better cancel those future travel plans. Didn't know I had to get knocked up to be a valued customer. Thanks for reminding me that I'm only important for my uterus.]
