You might have heard recently that one of the wildfires burning out of control on America’s west coast was caused by fireworks set off at a gender reveal party.
Fireworks. In a dry field. During fire season.
Sigh.
Gender reveal parties have gotten so completely out of hand that even the woman who started them is asking people to just. stop.
