I was telling my students about a very heated argument I had with my best friend, Joanne, when we were both in the 3rd grade. At the time we lived in Charleston, Illinois. Joanne was absolutely certain that Chicago was a state.
"Chicago isn't a state?" one student interrupted. Groans from classmates.
Wild hand waving from boy in the back of the class, "But I heard on the news they are gonna make it a state."
I can't make this stuff up, as Dave Berry used to say.
So for all you folks in Illinois I thought you might want to be aware of the confused geography here in Arizona. (I blame this on the 5th grade teachers because they teach the students the states - all 51 one of them. By the way, what's the capital of Chicago?)
