Geography Is Not Taught in N.Y., QED

A conversation with my 6-year-old brother who was playing with a mini Columbia basketball when I got home for Thanksgiving:

 

6-year-old bro: Hi, Eli7!

Eli7: Hi.

bro: Did you buy me this ball?

Eli7: Yup. Do you know where it's from?

bro: Israel.

Eli7: No. It's from Columbia.

bro: Oh, close.

 

(Full disclosure: Actually my parents bought him the ball and told him it was from me, but I wasn't going to tell him all that.)
