Geography Lesson

On the last day of Ashley's class reunion, we were tossing around plans to visit friends next summer at their home in Chicago.

"Where is Chicago?" Justin asked.

"In Illinois, right in the middle of the country," I said, indicating the general east to west location.

"I thought Chicago was in California," he replied.

Would you be kind enough to remind me of that when we get home?  I would like to have a word with one of your teachers.
