I must say that interesting conversations seldom happen at the dinner table in my home. The sounds you usually hear are, "Clink-clink! Slurrrp! Clink! SLURRRP!!! Ahhh... BURP!" This feast of sounds is usually accompanied by the soothing background of the television.
However, a rather interesting conversation took place over the dinner table a few nights ago:
News on the television was reporting about the magnitude 7.2 earthquake near the Mexico-California border on Monday.
Mom: Wah, earthquake again ar?
Me: Ya, near the border of America and Mexico.
Sis: Wait, isn't Mexico a part of the US?
Me: No, Mexico is a country by itself
At this point, I'm thinking in my head that she must have mistaken the country...
... for the American state,
NEW Mexico
Sis: But isn't Mexico situated in South America?
Me: Yup, that's correct.
Sis: So, isn't South America a part of America?
Me: *Bursts out laughing* No.
Sis: *Confused look*
Me: Do you actually know how the US looks like?
Sis: *Doesn't dare to answer* Then what about South Africa?
Me: *Being a little mischievous* What do you think?
Sis: *Thinks for awhile* It's a continent!
Me: *Bursts out laughing again* No, South Africa is a country!
Mom butts in: Oh, then Africa must be part of Europe!
Me: *Laughs even harder*
Meanie me.
