A Different Kind Of Red, White, And Blue

(It’s near the end of June and everyone’s getting ready for 4th of July (USA Independence Day). My cousin is showing her outfit she’s planning on wearing.)

Cousin: “So I’ve got this and I found these really cute earrings at [Store]! They’re perfect! They’re red, white, and blue and I just love the design!”

Me: “Umm, that’s the Union Jack pattern.”

Cousin: “What’s Union Jack?”

Me: “The UK’s flag… The people we fought to gain our independence from? The reason we’re here?”

Cousin: “Oh… they’re still cute!”

(She wore them to the barbecue.)
