This conversation actually happened.
John: Can I go to the dome to play soccer Friday?
Me: Who’s driving?
John: The same kid who drove last week.
Me: What’s his name again?
John: I don’t remember, it’s weird though. Like Avian or something.
Me: Right. I remember. He was a nice kid. That’s fine. You should learn his name though.
John: I know he’s from Somalia. Oh, wait. No, not Somalia. But somewhere in Africa…he said he was from East Africa.
Me: Are you sure?
John: Yes, that’s what he said.
Me: You know East Africa isn’t a country, it’s not like South Africa. There are a lot of countries in East Africa.
John: Well, maybe he said Somalia, but I know that’s not in Africa so…
Just to be clear he doesn’t know where Somalia or his groin is located.
