States

Today I gave my kids their own personal mini dictionary (as in about 20 words per letter of the alphabet) so that they could have a place to record and look up their sight words. In the book, there is an "about me" section. Abbie came up to ask me what it said where it was printed: "My state or province." I read it and then said that we live in states, not provinces, and then asked her what state we live in. She gave me a blank stare for a moment, and then guessed, "... the American flag?"
