I had just discovered the vast world of online...and my dad let me IM someone for the first time. I asked them where they were from and they said "Portland". Me being about 7 I thought Poland not Portland, Oregon. So I was like "That is so awesome!" Later my dad told me that Portland was NOT a foreign country.
