Geography Lessons Laughter

We have a great states tape that sings the capitals of the states and Grace knows most of the capitals, though she doesn’t always pronounce the names correctly. I heard her singing along in the back seat and had to chuckle at the capital of Montana…Humana, Monatana.

She asked me about the capital of Texas, and then Oklahoma. So I answered her and broke into song…”Oklahoma where the wind goes sweeping down the lane.”

Gracie replied, “Mom, they don’t have wind in Texas?”

I couldn’t help but laugh. Then she said, “Mama, do you know people live in soda?”

That one threw me for a slight loop, “Do you mean Minnesota?”

“Yes, Victoria said her grandma lives in Minnesoda.”

Then the boys joined in on the geography talk with some jokes.

“What did Tennessee? The same as Arkansas!”
