Deux You Know the Name of Our Country?

Our house is decorated for Easter - complete with bunnies, ribbons, eggs, and pinwheels.  It's the only decorated house on our block and the girls often look for other decorated houses as we take rides through neighborhoods where we've seen Valentine and Christmas decorations in the past.  On our trip to the doctor's office today, the girls carefully manned the windows, shouting out with excitement when decorations were spotted.

We passed one particular house that had an Easter flag blowing from the flagpole on the front porch.  This sighting sparked a new search - the search for flags.  Much to their excitement, they spotted a few more and as we approached the hospital, Kennedi spots the huge American Flag prominently blowing from the flagpole on top of the hospital. Kennedi:"Daddy, daddy, look at the big flag!" We both acknowledge the flag and daddy decides to ask, "What country is that flag for, Kennedi?" To this, Kennedi promptly replied, "Obama".  I'm not quite sure if we actually corrected her because we've been laughing ever since!

  1. you might want to forward this post to the White House AND House Majority Leader Boehner. the latter to remind him that this is a multi-striped country and not just one of predominantly well-off/wealthy white folks over a certain age.
