boom boom die


A couple years ago I spent New Years in LA with my mom's side of the family. There we watched that Japanese Red and White Festival show and ate a lot of good food. It was pretty cold there. A lot colder than Hawaii. During that evening, we did not have many fireworks to play with outside. We only had lame ones like sparklers or these small guns that shot out confetti. The guns we shot when it was midnight represent something we learned in physics. Newton's third law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The confetti that comes out of the gun pushes back from the gun and the gun pushes the confetti out of the gun when the trigger is pulled. The confetti that flies out of the gun falls in a projectile motion. That New Year's Eve was the quietest one I ever had. Usually at my aunty's house we have those big long firecracker chains (I don't know what they are called) and a lot of other ones. They make a lot of noise and are super smokey.
