Dear Dairy….
It was 4th of July today, the day started of great! I woke up to the sound of horns hooting… the parade! I got dressed and ran out the house to see the remaining of the Independence Day Parade. Unfortunately, it HAD to start raining as I ran down the street. Then as a squeezed my way through the crowd of festive shouts and cheers, finally when I got to the front of the crowd, I saw it! The finale parade float! This year it was a impersonator of Thomas Jefferson holding a piece of parchment, last year it was Paul Revere shouting that “The British are coming! The British are coming!“.
As the red-and-blue fireworks started to explode, I remembered, I was hosting my streets annual Independence Day Party! My friend was gonna come round in about 2 hours because she was working the fireworks.I haven’t even got the fireworks! So I hurried down to the store and showed my I.D. and purchased some big-booming fireworks. Then I stopped by the local grocery shop and picked up some BBQ hamburger and hot-dog buns, patties, sausages, and the other essentials for a good barbecue. I quickly went through the Dunkin’ Donuts and ordered 100 donuts to be delivered after dinner, seeing as there were about 25 families coming over. Finally I got home in time to get into some nice casual clothes when my friend rung the doorbell.
I greeted my friend in and we set up everything, which took about an hour. After all our guests arrived at my house, we got started on the grilling. Luckily, my yard is really big! Then the Dunkin Delivery and absolutly EVERYONE got at least one flavor they liked. I was happy, all was going well. It was finally time for what everyone was waiting for…. FIREWORKS!!!!! When we blew off the first one, the crowd went wild!
After a few more fireworks went off, one went totally wrong! It went sideways and hit my neighbours house! Everyone started screaming as his house lit up! I ran inside and called the local firefighters and they came racing down the street and squirted water everywhere. My neighbour was MAD! They vowed that I should never host another 4th of July party, or if I do, DO NOT LET MY FRIEND BE THE FIRE-WORKER! Luckily the off-course firework only burnt the roof, which as my panicky neighbour is, were fire-proof. So no-one and nothing was hurt or burnt. Well, the morale of the story is…. DO NOT LET YOUR CRAZY FRIEND HANDLE THE FIREWORKS!!!!
