I was reminded that I need to relearn the 50 states and their capitals.
My nephew had stayed over on the 17th and tested me with this cheap, puzzle map I had found at Target a couple of years ago. My knowledge of the country I was born in is embarrassing. And please don’t ask me about the Philippines where my parents were born. At least, not yet. I plan to do some reading this year.
*As seen in the picture, Montana doesn’t have its capital printed on its puzzle piece. Do you know what it is without looking it up?
**I didn’t. It’s Helena.

Helena? I could’ve told you that. But then again, I did grow up playing “Where in the —- is Carmen Sandiego?” on our old school PC. This song also helps me as well:

Too bad kids today don’t have educational video games and TV shows like these.
