The way I learned to play with fire is even on day 1: use fire! You learn not to hit yourself very fast haha, but if you do there's hardly any injury because the staff moves so much. You'll end up with a cute little black scorch mark til you wash it off and a little singed arm hair is all xD
Oh gosh! I love the blue ones haha, even now at nearly 27 years old I will walk around with my husband in public and eat those and be like "T WHAT COLOR IS MAI TONGUE NAO?!" /sticktongueout
....he can't take me anywhere
