Flags
		The kindergarten teacher was showing her class an encyclopedia page picturing several national flags.  She pointed to the American flag and asked, "What flag is this?" A little girl called out, "That's the flag of our country." "Very good," the teacher said.  "And what is the name of our country?" " 'Tis of thee," the girl said confidently.
