My Country 'tis of Thee

The kids are working on crafts. The Dude's is a stained glass Koala bear. He has to get all of these little crystals into these teensy spaces, then they will melt and meld together when we bake it in the oven.

I showed him the suggested pattern on the package as I picked an aqua crystal out of a pile of red ones. Collin stopped me.

"I don't want mine to be like the package. I don't want them to be the same. I want them to be all mixed together, like Americans."
