ok so I got added to this facebook group where people post bad pictures they’ve taken of boats and do you wanna see maybe the funniest thing i’ve ever seen
What do you get when you combine two teens, two pre-teens, two boxes of large glowsticks, a nighttime backyard, and a dad with an expensive camera that can do extremely long exposure times?
This.
Started out as glowstick waving and lightsaber fights,
Devolved into glowstick-throwing fight,
Then (thanks to brother managing to deflect glowsticks with his arms and me getting an idea) into throwing glowsticks for someone with a lightsaber to try and deflect,
Then finally into a lightsaber fight while being pelted with glowsticks.
Lemme tell ya, a glowstick that’s five inches long and half an inch wide makes a very loud sound when it bounces off the bicycle helmet you’re wearing.
Today I learned that I can throw marginally better than my brothers can. This is still not well, none of us are athletic. I can do a less-than-terrible job of deflecting glowsticks, too, and I suspect we all could have done better if we’d been better at aiming the glowsticks actually at each other.
[Images: various squiggles of colorful light against a dark outdoor area, caused by rapidly moving glowsticks and glowing toy lightsabers. Vague, transparent shades of moving people are visible in some.]
