No Vocation For Location, Part 9
(Our family home-schools, and my mom challenges my brother and I to draw a map of the world for a geography class. She decides to do this after dinner, so that my dad and grandmother can participate.)
Mom: “Alright, Mama, let’s see your map.”
(Grandma shows us her map, which, in addition to the standard continents, has one in the Arctic circle labelled ‘Arctica.’)
Me:“Grandma…”
Grandma: “Well, in school when I was growing up, Europe and Asia were combined into Eurasia, but we still learned that there were seven continents, so I thought—”
Me: “—that South America didn’t exist?”
(She’s never been able to live that one down.)
