Kickass, the doorstop dog, is with the keeper and Phyllis on this 2024 Fourth-of-July as they embrace the day’s fireworks vocabulary and invite everyone to join them in wondering where they might self-identify among the various terms:
Here’s a partial list for you to choose from: Are you on this noisy 2024 holiday a firecracker, skyrocket, sparkler, smoke bomb, punk, M-80, snake, Roman candle, ladyfinger, dud or something else?
It’s a personal thing and while the keeper might suggest that Phyllis is both a firecracker and a sparkler, he will be keeping his own self- fireworks identity choice to himself lest he is accused of conceit or hallucination.
Happy 4th!
