Quacking Quackcaphony

A mommy group has commandeered the large table at this coffee place. I came here to write, and plan to meet with friends later. They are happily trying to out-shrill each other. Even the babies are sitting in stunned silence. It's like sitting next to a heavy metal band of ducks. I swear my ears are starting to hurt. I'd leave if only other people weren't meeting me here. They aren't even saying anything worth overhearing. A curse on young mommies desperate for adult conversation! If only they wouldn't laugh. The pitch goes up to ice pick in the ear level when someone is funny.
