100 Words/10. Give Me Liberty

A few years ago, we tried to give ourselves back to the British.  We were like ‘Hey, about that whole American Revolution?  We’re sorry.’  And they were like, ‘No no no, no way, asshole.  You wanted your freedom?  You got it.’  It took awhile, but one day all of America felt like that twenty-six year old who moved out of their parents’ house and then was like ‘This sucks.  I want Mom to do my laundry again.’  But no such luck.  We tried to give ourselves to Canada too, but they said ‘No’ too.  Nobody wants to dance with us.
