Jasper City, Massachusetts
Gertrude had everything all set up for the 4th of July party. Hot dogs, burgers, chips, pulled pork, potato salad, salad, and cookies. Her friends, Janice, Daniel, Zachary, and Theresa were there, sweating like bullets under the hot July sun. The humidity made it feel like a steam bath.
It was now time to eat. Everyone ate the food, while at the same time, trying to keep the flies away. Then, all of a sudden, Gertrude's friends made buzzing noises.
"Guys, knock it off!" She demanded, in her heavy Eastern Massachusetts accent.
They continued to make buzzing noises. Then, they quacked like ducks.
"A bunch of wise quackers, eh?" Gertrude hissed. "Well, two can play at that game!" And, she started crowing like a rooster. This was turning out to be a silly 4th of July party.
And, it would be a memorable one.
