I took a college class once about early childhood development. We were looking at a map of countries colored based on how much paid maternal leave is required to be provided. There were only two countries on the map with 0 required.

Person sitting on my right: I should really know the name of that other country [looking at Papua New Guinea]

Me: Yeah I don’t remember right now but I knew it was just the US and one other country. I really should know the name I just forgot it right now…

Person sitting on my left: Yeah I’ve never seen it before… Is it part of Canada or something?

Me: … That one?

Left: Yeah

Me: That’s Alaska

Left: Haha. Wait really? Are you sure?

Me: 🤨
