the true american experience is wondering if you just heard firecrackers or gunshots
PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS A JOKE?!
Not a joke. And not limited to 4th of July, either.
This is actually happening to us right now.
But in Oklahoma, the game is:
Thunder, fireworks, or gunshots?
The kicker is when you get your answer from the *tink tink tink* sounds on your roof. If you’re lucky, they’re just .22s.
For me, since I live next to a military base it’s fireworks, gunshots, thunder or distant artillery on the base
