Daily Good Stuff 113: Independence Day

July 4th. USA! USA! USA! You already know what today is so I’m not going to dive into this long story or whatever. I will say that I’m going to attempt to make this a themed post.

Mrs Whyte, his teacher advises the class that each school day starts with the “Pledge of Allegiance”*** and instructs them to put their right hand over their heart and repeat after her. As Mrs Whyte starts the recitation she looks around the room, ‘I pledge allegiance to the flag……..’, when her eyes are drawn to Andy who has his hand over the right cheek of his bottom.

‘Andy, I cannot continue till you put your hand over your heart,’ she demands. Andy looks up and replies, ‘It is over my heart.’ After several more attempts to get Andy to put his hand over his heart, Mrs Whyte inquires, ‘Why do you think that is your heart, Andy?’

‘Well Miss,’ answers Andy, ‘because every time my Grandma comes to visit she pats me there and says, “Bless your little heart,” and my Grandma never lies.’

Welp! And now for a video of fireworks…fails…

Nice. My favorite was number 6. Alright and an image:

Oh, that needs to stop right now! And a quote:

For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. Nelson Mandela

And that’s it! Don’t blow yourself up over fireworks!
