(I have just returned to work after going on vacation in West Virginia. My coworker is a senior in high school.)

Coworker: “So, did you need to get a passport when you left?”

Me: “Why would I need a passport? I was still in the States.”

Coworker: “West Virginia is in a different country, right?”

Me: “Uh, no. It’s in the US. What exactly do you think the US consists of?”

Coworker: “Canada, California, and Mexico?”
