I was on a tripwith my marching band once and we ended up going to six flags. Now I am Canadian and we were in the United States, somewhere around Chicago I think, and I was wearing a bunch of Canadian stuff...why I'm not exactly sure, I guess I just really wanted everyone to know I was Canadian..I'm weird like that.
Me and my friends were waiting in line for a ride when this couple turns around and asks "are you from Canada?"
...looks at shirt that says "CANADA", bandana that says "I am Canadian" and Canada flag pins all over my backpack...
"...yes"
"Oh that's so cool, our daughter lives in Canada. Where are you from?"
"Northern Ontario"
"Oh ya our daughter lives in Vancouver, her name's Julie.. do you know her?"
I just kind of stood there and stared at them for asking such a stupid question. I mean if your daughter lives in Canada you think you'd know the basic geography of it. I'm just surprised they didn't start asking me if I lived in an igloo.
