4th of July. I hate loud sudden noises. So I hate firecrackers, and balloons, and guns.
When I was little my family went to the local football field to watch the fireworks. I hated it. I sat through the whole show with my hands over my ears crying. Now that I've grown I still don't like fireworks, but I have kids so I needed to tolerate a certain amount. I eventually found that I could park my car away from the fireworks. We could still see them, but they weren't as loud, and you didn't feel them in your stomach. 2 of my 3 children came with me. The third went up close with his dad.
This year I am not planning to go at all.
P.S. The worst birthday party game: My best friend (and I) were probably 5. The game was to see how many balloons you could pop by sitting on them! I didn't play.
