America's Birthday

As we put the finishing touches on a vegetable tray for a Fourth of July celebration, our inquisitive three year old questioned, "Where are we going?"

I looked down at her bright smiling face and answered, "To Uncle Brian's party."

Immediately she responded with yet another question.  "Who's birthday is it?"

Of course a three year old might consider that every party is a birthday party.  I smiled and chuckled inside as I replied, "It's America's birthday."

Before I could get another word of explanation out of my mouth, she questioned, "Is America going to be there?"
