    We ate 9 metrics tons of food, drank a bottle of beer and wine each and finally set off €300 worth of fireworks at midnight. I eventually went to bed, but then my parents woke me up to help extinguish the shed, as one of them had a severe lapse in judgement and placed the box full of detonated fireworks inside. We even left a box outside that kept on rekindling itself, no matter how many buckets of water we poured on it. That was also the first time the fire brigade ever paid a visit to my house. Thankfully, only a shelf of random items was totally destroyed. The firemen told us that we called them just in time, as the roof was about to burn to the ground.
