So we're having dinner and my mother in law is, for some unknown reason, telling us about how her mother once saw a Bigfoot when she was a kid, "because they were beside Russia"
My wife said, "I thought your mother grew up in Japan?"
"She did."
"Japan is all islands."
"No it's not. It's connected to Russia, on the other side of the islands. Like Alaska."
"Alaska's not connected to Russia either."
"No! It's connected to Washington."
"No it isn't, Canada is between them."
"Well then, how do people drive there?"
"Because Canada has roads?"
"No, they're connected!"
"We have a map, I'll show you."
*they walk over to the map*
MIL: "That map is wrong."
This is when I left the room.
