Talk to the Flag

A few days ago I was at my son’s house, standing on the front porch, when Abby came outside to talk to me.

Abby is five (soon to be six) and she is never at a loss for words.

“Nana,” she said, “Did you see the flag daddy put up?”

“I did,” I answered. “It looks very nice.”

Abby put her hands on her hips.

“Well, Nana,” she said impatiently, “What do you say to it?”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“You know,” she said, as she placed her hand over her heart and looked at me as if had just flunked out of kindergarten.

“Oh yes, of course,” I said and put my hand over my heart.

Together on my son’s front porch we said the Pledge of Allegiance.

Next time I see a flag I will remember what I’m supposed to say to it!

  1. Good for Abby! Out of the mouth of babes! I hope she remembers that years from now…honor the flag for what it stands for! Hop over to my blog and see my tribute for the 4th of July. Have a good holiday!
