A childhood belief about places

My sister had asked me how the Statue of Liberty got all the way from France to the U.S. Being the big sister I explained how 100 men swam it accross the ocean and were too tired to bring it on land and that is why it is in the NY harbor. Later that week she came home and hit me in the shoulder, hard! Apparently she believed it and shared it with the class. He he he! (20 years later she still belives my stories!)
