When I was in 5th grade...

My mom, her friend, her daughter and I all lived in a 3 bedroom apartment. My mom worked a lot so most of the time when I would come home from school I would be by myself. But, One day I asked my friend Lauren to come over because I had some fire works I wanted to "play with". So she came over to hang out and we were just talking for a little bit, and then I said " Hey, I have these fireworks! They are so much fun, we should play with them!?". My friend was a little skiddish because she was told playing with fireworks was bad, but I told her they were perfectly safe. I played with them all the time, and after all they were just sparkelers. So, For whatever reason I thought because they were so safe I could light them up INSIDE the house. So I lite one and was fine and I'm pretty sure I put it out with cold water and threw it in the garbage... But when it came to Lauren, I handed it to her and she got scared so she dropped it on my moms carpet!!! It immediately went out but it left a black burn mark on the floor. I was so scared of getting in trouble, even though I was not saved at the time... I remember getting on my knees and saying God if you don't let my mom find out I PROMISE I will never be bad again! But of course she found out. I was so mad at my friend, haha.
