‘The 4th is next Tuesday and we have not made a plan yet,’ Neva J. said quizzically. ‘I thought that we would go out to Grandma A.’s and watch the Fireworks Show that Eldorado puts on at the Starlight Drive-Inn,’ said Billy B. ‘You know they really are front row seats and no people jostling for a better viewing position,’ Chet added. ‘I lip read a little and sometimes can understand what the actors are saying in the movies on the big screen,’ Jane laughed. ‘The Attack Of The Fifty-Foot Woman is going to play on The 4th,’ Chet said with a wink. ‘I wonder how she got so tall,’ Neva J. ruminated. ‘I think it was One A Day Vitamins,’ Jane smiled. ‘Perhaps she is drinking a glass of your morning Egg-Nog,’ Billy B. guffawed.

The booms and pops and sizzles could be heard all over Eldorado. In the country, the folks were shooting off their shotguns into the air. Nellie came over and offered Neva J. a cigar and they both lit them up in celebration of Independence Day. Nellie gave Billy B. and Chet a stogie as well and they began to puff with great pleasure! The Fifty Foot Woman seemed to be upset. I suppose having your height magnified 10 times…would be a bit disconcerting. She was smashing cars at a Drive-Inn on the Big Screen when suddenly she stepped out of the screen and began beating the cars in the Starlight Drive-Inn Parking lot. ‘Now if everyone will just calm down we will begin our Eldorado Annual Fireworks Show,’ the Mayor said. ‘Is the Big Girl part of the show,’ Junior called out?

Suddenly 50 Foot Girl began taking massive strides toward Grandma A.’s house and toward the Fireworks Box Seat Audience. ‘Why sit down young lady…I will get you a glass of sweet tea,’ said Grandma A. ‘Oh I love sweet tea…I am from the south…I have been a bit upset when I discovered that none of my clothes fit any longer,’ She said. Now…never mind about that…I will sew you up something really nice once the Show is over…do you like cookies,’ Grandma asked? ‘I simply love cookies…and they are oatmeal as well…which is my favorite,’50 Foot Girl replied.

Could I have one of the sparklers,’ 50 Foot Girl asked? ‘Dad will help you in the morning with the antidote to the elixir that made you grow so tall…he said that it will reduce you to seven feet,’ Daryl said with a smile. ‘I have a feather bed that will fit you just right,’ said Grandma A. ‘You can stay with me and I will be your Grandma and help you,’ Grandma A. said with a kind smile.

One by one Billy B. and Chet and Jane and Darryl and Neva J. took turns being hoisted onto Abigail’s shoulders to see the Fireworks Display a bit better…and they laughed at their good fortune…
