Geography anyone?

The boys have found a new game they love... RISK. Remember RISK? My brother and I played it when we were younger. It's one of those battle strategy games that kids love to play. Well anyway, the boys were talking this morning about their latest battle and how Max almost took over New Guinea until Andrew wiped out all of his troops in Australia and I'm thinking - cool, they are going to learn some geography too, what a great game.

Then Max says, New Guinea - that's in Canada right mom? We went there last summer, right?

No - it's not in Canada and we've never been there, I said.

Oh yeah, right, Max replies - That was New Guineasburg!

New Guineasburg? What is he talking about? New Guinea, Canada, last summer's vacation? And then I got it...

Gettysburg? Do you mean Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Max?

and he replies, We went to Pennsylvania!?
