So… I just got home from hanging out with my buddies and also watching Xmen 3. The movie was pretty cool… but I feel like I wanted more. But anyway… I was talking to my buddies and our conversation drifted to the questions they ask in a naturalization interview. So we asks each other to name 10 of the original 13 states. I was thinking about it and I said Georgia was one. All my friends say… no Georgia was not… So after coming home … I was still sure that Georgia was a 13 colonies, I looked it up … and I was correct. So all of my friends are natural born US citizens… so who is more American now? ha ha ha… just kidding guys….
