This year in school we are studying early American history, and after reading about the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, the kids decided it was time to create their own countries. To my daughters, this mean play "revolution" with their toys, discuss the name of their country, and maybe come up with a national animal.
And then there's my son.
At age 10 he has declared his bedroom an independent nation. I will share his founding documents with you.
"We the people hereby declare our independence from the USA. We will remain independent for all ever. We will be happy on our own."
This was my favorite, though.
"We, the people, will be:
Free, independent, awesome, da best, momentarily confused, dairy-full, meat-full, mostly cheerful, usually peaceful, ready to fight, willing to join forces with almost any country of one mind, supportive of Minecraft, and eating doughnuts sometimes."
I'm proud to be the mother of the leader of da best, mostly cheerful, eating doughnuts sometimes country.
Awesome! I must come visit this country soon:)
