The $2 Bill.

That's a funny story! I am constantly amazed by how little some people know.

I was talking to the boy who carried out my groceries the other day. I asked him if he was in high school and he told me that he had graduated last year and was almost 19. He said that he was going on a missions trip in a year or so. I asked him if he went to the Wesleyn Church because I knew that they did mission trips to Ecuador. He said no, he was Mormon and he didn't even know where Ecuador was. As he was ready to walk off I told him that Ecuador was in South America. Shouldn't a 19 year old know that?

I'm not super good at geography, but since you to were just making idle conversation i wouldn't have admited that I didn't know. Just smile & say no we're going to ______.

Don't get me started on what high school kids don't know! A friend of mine was going to California from NJ and her son thought she needed a passport! And my son SWEARS he never heard of Kentucky and didn't know it was a state! Just what ARE they teaching in school?

Whenever we take the train to NYC the ticket machine gives you $1 coins....anywhere I try to use them they give me a hard time!

LOL speaking of geography, I just gotta share this story... When I was in Mexico, on our last night there we met some guys from San Diego. They were in their early 20's and went to Mazatlan for Carnival, and to escape the "cold" in California. So my cousin Sheldon says "Yeah we're from Canada and we're missing a blizzard right now, it's -50 degrees Celsius back home!" and they were so amazed... one guy said "I don't know how you guys can do it. This one time I went to Michigan and people were walking around in sweaters and I was there with about 5 layers of sweaters and a couple jackets and I was still shivering!" and his friend cuts in and says "Yeah but that's only Michigan. These guys are from CANADA. Michigan is nothing compared to THAT!" LOL I wonder if he realized where Michigan is relative to Canada.... or if he thinks you step over the magical border into a freezing cold winter wonderland
