So, I was talking with my mom. She was telling me how from the military records she looked up yesterday, she found that I had two ancestors that were a part of the revolutionary war. Because of this, I can apply for scholarships from Daughters of the Revolutionary War.
But the important part of the conversation was this:
Mom: And [the two ancestors] both come from the state of... *leaves me hanging to get me to guess*
Me: ...Wisconsin?
Mom: Revolutionary war, Amanda.
Me: Uh...Philadelphia?
Mom: Which is... *goes on, telling me that I guessed wrong*
Me: ...Pennsylvania?
Mom: That's right! And Amanda, Philadelphia is a city, not a state.
Me: *laughs* How am I supposed to remember whether Philadelphia is a state or city?
The moral of this story is:
I fail at geography.
