Did You Know?

Independence Day is marked by fireworks, barbecues and parades.
Previously called “rockets,” the term “fireworks” was not established until 1777.
Later fireworks that made a noise were invented and called “fire crackers” and by 1880 sparklers had been created.

 The Fourth of July weekend was coming up, and the nursery school teacher took the opportunity to tell her class about patriotism. “We live in a great country,” she said. “One of the things we should be happy is that, in this country, we are all free.” One little boy came walking up to her from the back of the room. He stood with his hands on his hips and said. . . .”I’m not free. I’m four.”

Those darn kids
Nicholas took his four-year-old son, Bryan, to several baseball games where “The Star-Spangled Banner” was sung before the start of each game.
Later, Nicholas and Bryan attended St Bartholomew’s church on the Sunday before Independence Day.
The congregation sang The Star-Spangled Banner, and after everyone sat down, Bryan suddenly yelled out at the top of his voice, ‘Play ball.’

  1. WTF? At least that guy will not be able to reproduce (if we’re lucky). Now if we can only eliminate his right to vote and he’ll be almost completely safe.

  7. “Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.” –Thomas Jefferson
