The United States Of Europe

(In third grade geography class, we’re learning about the continents.)

Teacher: *points to North America* “This is the continent we live on, North America.” *points to South America* “Who can guess what this continent is called?”

(No one raises a hand.)

Teacher: “*North America…”

Class: “OH! South America!”

Teacher: “Good!” *points to Europe* “Does anyone know what this one’s called? It starts with an ‘E.’”

(One student raises a hand.)

Student: “East America?”
