I'm not sure why, but once, in kindergarten, a boy told me about a horrible place called "Pencilvania" . Never looking at a map of the U.S and reading the states' names, I thought Pecilvania was in Europe. Then, he told me that I was taking a vacation there, and that I would die. ( Huh? ) I got really upset because I thought my family would be attacked by flying, orange pencils.
