Independence Day

I recall having this conversation with my young twin sisters, years ago.

Me: "Guess what today is?"
Twin: "The fourth of July!"
Me: "Awesome. Do you know what we celebrate on the 4th of July?"
Twin: "Our Independence!"
Me: "Wow, that's right! Our Independence from who?"
Twin: "Aliens!"*




*The movie Independence Day with Will Smith had come out earlier that week.
