Silly Kids!
Jack just heard someone say on the television, "He drove to Washington, D.C." He looked very confused and asked, "How can you drive to Washington?" I said we can't do it from here, but the man on the telly could do it because he lives in the United States.
That led to a discussion about the 50 states, and I said the only state he couldn't drive to Washington from was Hawaii because it's a group of islands. Again, Jack looked confused, so I explained that it was out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but it was still a part of the U.S.
Jack's response was, "Oh, you mean like Tenerife and how it's a part of Scotland!"
Ummmm, that's Spain, Jack.

Kids do say the darndest things, don't they? My cousin, when looking at a map of the states which showed what they are well known for saw that Wisconsin had cows and cheese. He pointed out that things are the things that we share with the rest of the country. Then, he saw the Golden Gate Bridge in California and quickly let us all know that California sends us all our bridges. Pehaps they could send Jack one to drive to DC? ;)
