For the love of cake

While driving to the grocery store this weekend.

Violet: What's Canada?
Me: It's the country where we live.
Violet: But were IS it?
Me: It's land, like the ground, all the way from here to where Nina and Rhea live.
Violet: Oh..but then what's Canada Day?
Me: It's the day we celebrate when Canada became a country. Like a birthday.
Violet: But we didn't have cake!
Me: People don't usually have cake for Canada Day.
Violet: but...couldn't we throw some cake at the flag or something?
