I went to a cafe this morning & my total was $17.74. When I heard that price I said, “hm, interesting year. Quite a lot went on…2 before we signed the Declaration of Independence.” I heard NOTHING. The cashier was puzzled & so was her co-worker. I had to explain & said, “Uhh, 1776? Declaration of Independence? JULY 4TH?” Then they went, “OHH!” Come on people? What, NOBODY KNOWS WHY WE CELEBRATE JULY 4TH?

This is SAD!
