I remember, “Howdy neighbor, happy day, we’re here to cheer you on your way, with a song, and a smile, and a yippee-ki-yay, we the people, U.S.A,” which was the opening line to my 2nd grade play. The only reason I got to play Lady Liberty, was becuase Erica Dowes was kidnapped by her father and I was her understudy.
