USA Challenge

Christina Aguilera messed up the National Anthem at the Superbowl. Thankfully football isn't popular in other countries, and hopefully no one else noticed. Tell me this.... Do you know all of the words to The National Anthem? Better yet, can you name all of the states by sight from looking at a map of this country?

I might be able to do the National Anthem, but I can tell you straight up that I can't name all of the states by sight. My coworkers and I tried this a few months ago aduring a slow night at the shop. None of us could do it. Therefore I have a mission. If I'm going to expect my son to learn these things, then I better make sure that I know them first. Therefore I'll be studying this in my spare time. Wait, does spare time include driving in the car? Perhaps I'll print one out and hang it up in in there.

I challenge you to do this. I especially challenge the teacher's out there. No cheating!!! For extra credit, you can write the words to the National Anthem.


Copy and Paste the numbered list, and post in my comments. I'll grade them, and let you know how you do.
