A first grade teacher tells her class that she is American and asks them to raise their hands if they are American.
All hands in the classroom waive into the air like flashy fireworks, except one girl named Gabriela. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
“Because I am not an American,” the girl responds.
“Then,” asks the teacher, “What are you?”
“I’m a proud Mexican,” boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little annoyed now, her face slightly red. She asks Gabriela why she is a Mexican.
“Well, my mom and dad are Mexican, so I’m a Mexican too.”
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason. What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?”
“Well,” says Gabriela, “I’d be an American.”

One morning, while the husband was leaving for work, his wife asked him: “Honey, do you know what today is?”
He nervously responded: “Of course I do!” Then he left for work.
Throughout the day he sent his wife flowers, chocolates, and a card telling her to meet him at a certain expensive restaurant for dinner.
When he met her at the restaurant she ran up to him and said: “This has been the best Independence Day of my life!”
