"Is Cooperstown in, like, upstate?"
"Everything but New York City and Long Island is upstate," I told her. "I'll show you where Cooperstown is."
Google maps pinpointed the location, and I showed Middle Sister where the Hall of Fame is in relation to New York City. Then I asked her where her friend lives. "Oh, somewhere around here," she said, pointing to a random spot near Cooperstown. On the map, the words "NEW YORK" were spread across the center of the state.
"I can't remember the city," she mused, "but I know he's only, like, two letters away."
"That's why I want you to take that geography class before you graduate high school," I informed her.

Tee hee.
It reminds me of that old Calvin and Hobbes where they are flying in from outerspace, and Calvin says, "we live near the E in States"
Mimi, too funny! I'd forgotten about that comic until now--you're so right. (But I dare not show that to Middle Sister. It would only encourage her!)
Hehe, this brought a chuckle to the end of my day. Start sending her out with a map when she leaves the house!
