Fireworks

'You can't stop the bangs but you can help them be quiet.' Sula and Amma go round to Bing's house to watch the fireworks. Sula doesn't like the bangs so she is wearing her earmuffs but Bing thinks he is brave enough to watch the fireworks outside in the garden. Suddenly there is a huge bang and a super-loud rocket sends Bing racing back inside and under the kitchen table in shock. Flop makes Bing an unconventional pair of earmuffs of his own so that he can enjoy the fireworks without the bangs.

When Bing can't reach his paper aeroplane, Coco offers to measure him again to check if he's really grown but they don't quite get the measuring ritual right and the new mark is much lower than before.
