Some teen girls were at our kitchen table about a year ago.
The topic of our oldest daughter going to France came up.
One of the girls asked if France is in our country.
One wonders if the girl, her parents or the school district should be shot first.
Again I say, a question such as this is cause not for lamentation but rejoicing. And never mind the parents and the school board. It's all up to her.
My daughter incurred $600 in international charges on her cell phone bill for calling her friend in Panama. She said she didn’t know it was international. Publik skool steenks.
Conversation from 2 days ago:
A friend of mine just got back from 85 days in Nigeria. We were sitting down at the marina having a cold beer talking about it. A guy that was sitting close asked what country Nigeria was in. Before my friend could answer, his wife chimed in that it was a state in Africa.
She told him that Africa was like the United States, a country comprised of many different states. My friend responded. He said, "Ok, my wife thinks that Africa is a country. It is time for us to go home."
