Nagyaya na si Mr. Montemayor sa labas ng bahay para magpaputok. May kanya kanyang baong paputok din sina Misis at si Junior
Mr. Montemayor: Let’s go guys! Magpapaputok na tayo!
Palabas na sila ng bahay ay nasalubong nila si Inday…
Inday: Sir!! Is that a whistle bomb you’re holding? Are you really planning to use that?
Mr. Montemayor: Oo! Tara sama ka… lakas ‘to!
Inday: No thank you! And I highly suggest that you just defuse that and throw it away. Don’t you know that 51% of fireworks-related injuries are caused by firecrackers such as that you’re holding? And 40% of these injuries involve hands which can lead to disfigurement or worse, amputation of digits or the whole hand itself.
Tinignan na lang ni Mr. Montemayor ang kamay nya…
Mrs. Montemayor: Dear, wag na lang kaya naten paputukin yan? Eto na lang fountain ang gamitin naten. Hindi naman ito pumuputok eh. Ok lang ito diba Inday?
Inday: You know what? I have a better idea… wait here
May hinalungkat si Inday sa mga cabinet at iniabot kay Mrs. Montemayor
Inday: Here, stare directly at this halogen lamp for five minutes if you want to reduce your visual acuity or go blind instead of lighting that fountain up. This is friendlier to the environment as well.
Junior: Buti ako sparklers lang. Pambata talaga and safe diba? (pinakita nya ang sparklers kay Inday)
Inday: Junior, don’t you know that such devices burn at a high temperature, around 1800 to 3000° F? And it can also cause devastating burns to hands and faces or even ignite clothing. 46% of the burn injuries reported every year involves children because consumers think that sparklers are harmless.
Mrs. Montemayor: Naku anak, sorry di ko alam. Wag mo nang gamitin yan.
Mr. Montemayor: Ano nang gagawin naten ngayon? Baduy naman.
Inday: Honestly, I still don’t get it why some people even bother buying fireworks. It’s like burning your money. Fortunately, I have prepared a lavish feast for New Year’s Eve. Let’s just celebrate it by eating and leave the fireworks to the professionals ok? (sabay tawag kay Dodong)

Inday: Dear readers, let’s all have a peaceful and safe new year ok? See you next year

there are still some families na di nagpapaputok during christmas and new year.. it’s fun but it’s dangerous too.. buy something else useful di ba? instead of paputok..

Hey Inday, if that’s the case, how will ur amo be able to enjoy new year without drawing on fire crackers???? You know, using fire crackers during new year’s eve is already a part of our conventio… it’s gonna be so uninteresting, tedious, dull, dreary, mind-numbing, tiresome, lackluster, unexciting, monotonous, repetitive, wearisome, humdrum, uninspiring occasion!
