So I TA for a couple of classes this year and recently during one such class, I had a student ask what it was like to go to school in Ohio. This of course coming after a short discussion where said student observed that I had gone to Miami University and I had correctly told him that I went to the one in Ohio, which confused him as it does to everyone in this state ("why is there is a Miami in Ohio?").

Anyway, the student then went on to reveal that he didn't know much about geography, stating that Ohio was only 200 miles wide,that Cincinnati and Cleveland were side-by-side, and that Toronto was close by (it is but he's off by a lake, Lake Erie borders Ohio, whereas Lake Ontario is where Toronto is located). With a short geography lesson, he then went on to say that one of his friends, that happens to come from Ohio, gave him a chocolate saying it was a Buckeye. Shaking my head at the student and trying to hide my smile, I told him that wasn't a Buckeye.

"But he gave me a chocolate covered peanut butter candy and called it a Buckeye."

"So he gave you a Reese's peanut butter cup?"

"Oh..."

Yeah. I'll leave it like that.
