Duffy asked the kids.Yes, the group responded, prompting him to ask twice more.No, are you excited to be in Philadelphia? he exclaimed.Yes! the children shouted back.See, that's what I'm talking about, Duffy said.
That's excitement, that's energy.But as the secretary droned on about how he was spearheading an effort to wrap trains, planes, and buses with red, white, and blue for the America250 celebration, some of the children seemed to lose focus.There's no yawning in this! he said, singling out one child. We don't yawn. We're going to be thrilled to be here.
