Happy Fourth!

Holiday traditions of cookouts, pool play, picnics and fireworks--all to celebrate the birthday of our country.  I asked Jack a few patriotic questions to test his Independence Day knowledge.  

Q1:  What was America fighting for during the revolutionary war?

J:  I don't know.  Because the King of England was being unfair.

Q2:  What do the stars represent on the American Flag?

J: Easy, the 50 states.

Q3:  What do the stripes represent?

J: The original 13 countries.  :)

Q4:  What freedoms did the deceleration of independence give us?

J:  Freedom to do whatever we want?  (You wish Jack, ha!)

Q5:  Who is our president?

J:  Current is Presidemt O'bama.  First was President George Washington and 16th was President Abraham Lincoln.  (Someone paid attention in school last president's day!)

Q6:  What is the president's job?

J: Oh, he is the big boss.  He decides how to spend the money.  

Q6:  What is your favorite part of the Fourth of July?

J:  Fireworks!

So, I've concluded my six-year old knows as much as most of us ;).
