July 4th
based
on the lack of a fireworks display in Hampton this year.
Sparkles
“Yes, there is no
city fireworks display this year. Yes I would agree, poor city planning.
However, in these economic times, would you rather the city spend the money on
a spectacular fireworks display or on new textbooks?” I looked down at my feet
and scrunched my nose. “Sparkles", I shouted and looked up into their faces. They
looked at each other and smiled. “Tell you what, we will go to the store and
pick up a package of sparklers, alright?” “Sparklers, heck, that’s hardly a
display at all!” They take my hand as we walk out the front door of the house. “You’ll
see little one, these will work out just fine.” I turn my face up towards them,
just to make sure they can see my pout. “Fine” I repeat unhappily. “And then
after, we’ll sit in front of the television and watch the fireworks shows in
D.C. and New York City.” I climb into the car. “Sparkles?” They chuckle. “Yes little one...sparkles.”
