Anecdote #4: Bottle Rocket

Anecdote #4: 

 A bottle rocket once landed in my mouth during a 4th of July Beach Boys concert.


I was about 4-years old and a bad chatty cathy.  I am sure my mouth was open and moving when the bottle rocket bounced off my tongue. My mother raised hell in a british accent, a public rampage 
i mean, like a firework,  she went off! After slinging multiple swear words amongst young and old alike, no one fessed up to lighting a bottle rocket in a crowd of thousands.  My Mom wrapped my tongue with ice and a giant wad of paper towels, and quietly, we enjoyed the remainder of the evening that way.
