Charlie was reading a book about the wonders of the world:
Pyramids. Great Wall of China. Stonehenge. The Great Barrier Reef. Taj Mahal.
He asked, “Why doesn’t our country have more cool things?”
Before I could point out that he’s personally visited the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Redwood forest, Disney World, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, the USS Intrepid, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yankee Stadium, Times Square, nearly every Broadway theater, and nearly every monument in Washington, DC, he asked:
“And why does our country have so many guns?”
I had an answer to that question, but it was not so simple and a lot less joyful.
