Sometimes I wish I was older!

[ fidget fidget. ]

Not that I'm not proud of how I came to be or anything. I was the first colony to really break away and become a democratic nation. I was something new and extraordinary! But... I still am. People can have Japanese heritage or English heritage, but when my people ask "what are you?", they're always talking about their heritage, and that answer isn't ever "American." It bothers me a lot.

I'm proud of being the melting pot of the world, don't get me wrong, but there are downsides to being so young.

[ AND AMERICA'S ISSUES COME TO LIGHT. ]

Actually, I'm younger than Canada, and that sucks. But don't tell anyone!
