I want our children to be proud to live in the this country but I think they are still a little young to understand the concept fully. It’s just a pretty BIG thing to grasp when you really think about it.
I looked at Tim as we waited for the fireworks to begin (on the evening of the 3rd… that is when the best show happens around here) and asked him what he thought our forefathers would think about how we celebrate our Independence these days…
You know, like with face and arm painting…
And shirts that say “Rock On America”…
And eating frozen yogurt that drips down your chin and onto your patriotic-ish, little-girl top…
Or waiting for the fireworks show while splashing your feet in a pond…
How about making dessert that is both delicious and looks patriotic…
Or letting your young boys play with fire. This IS what they meant by the “rockets red glare” right??
Okay, maybe not.
Either way, God Bless America.
And by the way, I think our forefathers would be good with it. Especially Benjamin Franklin. He was a really cool guy.
