Fireworks are too loud. So are guns, but at least they're useful.

Daughter is right. This holiday sucks, and so does New Years.

The context of the thread and her post is fireworks and their noise on those particular holidays, so....  Anyway, she's also a French citizen, but it's actually a noise thing for her. Loud music, parades, etc. affect her the same way and are overstimulating. I got her some nice electronic ear muffs for the range which she wears to bed when celebrations add to the ambient noise. Or we could just keep on assuming.

Ok, you win.  Defective.   On another note, my daughter hated fireworks when she was young.  We made the mistake of having her with us celebrating the millennium and she was only about 2.  There were so much going off I thought the world was ending.  Apparently, so did she.  For years after, she refused to be outside with fireworks so I stayed inside with her during those times.  Now she is 18 and over it.

Just like the baby male chickens at a Foster Farms ranch this one too need's to go down the belt and become feed for new chickens.  I hope you hatched more than one egg and if not, there's always next season.  
Better luck next time Dad!

OP needs to set up his daughter with some M80's.  Tell her she is an infiltrator, and the cardboard boxes in the driveway are high value targets.  She gets $5 for each "casualty" she creates.

Why do today's children have to be coaxed to like bombs?!

You could let her wear muffs for fireworks time but there aint no comin back from not liking chicken and dumplings.  Send 'er back where you got 'er and whip you up another.

Must be the mothers curse that is placed on every child. The one where they hope that you will have a child just as annoying and exasperating as you were.

Not sure she could stand that. She'd probably take the ruler away from the nun and beat her with it.

Due to some errant fireworks going off near her when she was 2, my 5 yr. old daughter has absolutely no desire to attend any fireworks displays
And like your's OP, mine loves to go shooting with me
