a trivia game

(played with 9 year olds)

What country do we live in?
-Ohio!
No, what country
-(different kid) Ohio!
That's still not the answer.
-(yet a third kid) Ohio!
That's a state. What country do we live in?
-Alabama?
Noooo
-(smug kid, waiting as he sees his peers be wrong, says with condescension) Columbus
What? No. That's a city
South America!
That's a continent. What country do we live in?
Ohio?

this is a true story.
