Geography?

Yesterday in the car...
Kyle: Monica, have you ever ridden the Max?
Monica: Mom, have I ever ridden the Max?
Me: No but you've ridden the lightrail which is similar. The Max is in Portland.
Monica: Where is Portland?
Me: In Oregon.
Kyle: It's in another CONTINENT!
Me: You mean another state.
Kyle: Yeah, right. Another STATE!
Later...
Monica: Why do people speak different languages?
Me: Because people come from other places where different languages are spoken.
Kyle: There's a different language for every STATE!
Me: You mean country? (I know, not exactly, but close enough.)
Kyle: Yeah, right. Every COUNTRY!
