Today is Memorial Day. The Australian equivalent would be ANZAC Day.
As we drove past the cemetery yesterday, Isaac noticed all the American flags in the ground and asked us why they were there.
I told him "Memorial Day is a day which we remember the people who have fought for our country." Pause. "Well, actually, for your country. Because it's not my country. Memorial Day is an Amerian day."
I really should have just stopped after the first explaination. Explaining Memorial Day to a five year old is hard enough, without the added confusion of nationality.
