Ok, this one is about my brother.
Years ago, my family went up to Maine. Over there, we were go suppossed to go on a cruise to Canada. Unfortunately, there was a storm and we couldn't go.
My brother came to a conclusion that Canada was an island! I had to prove it to him, when he was 11, that Canada is connected to the US!
