Sadly, This Is Her Natural State

(My sister is reading the back of a snack box.)

Sister: “Hey, look! You can enter a contest to go see a panda cub! But it says that children under 3 years of age can’t enter, and if you’re under 12 you may not be able to feed the panda. Oh, and you’re not eligible if you’re from Hawaii or Arkansas.”

Me: “Arkansas? That’s really random. I was expecting you to say Alaska, since it’s not in the continental US.”

Sister: “Wait, what’s the abbreviation for Alaska?”

Me: “AK.”

Sister: “Oh, that makes a lot more sense now.”
