Carter (5½ yrs): What kind of holiday is this?
Me: It's the day we celebrate America's independence.
Carter: What does 'independence' mean?
Me: It means we celebrate our freedom. Freedom to go to church where we want, be friends with who we want, talk about what we want, do what we want.
Carter: Whatever we want to do?
Me: Yes, as long as we don't break any laws.
A little while later I overheard this conversation:
Carter: Today is AWESOME!
Bry: Why's that?
Carter: Because I get to do whatever I want to all day long and no one can tell me not to!
Bry: Today is America's Independence Day. Yours starts when you're 18.
