Where's Ethiopia??

I had the weirdest conversation with some girls last week!

I went to my friend's new student orientation for her school and they played some games to get to know eachother better. Even though I wasn't new, they allowed me to join in. One of the games was Two Truths and a Lie. One person tells two truths and  a lie about themselves and everyone else has to guess which is the lie. So these were my truths and lie.

1) I'm homeschooled
2) I play soccer
3) I've been to Ethiopia

(Hey, do you know which is the lie??)

I got a variety of answers. Most of the kids thought it was the Ethiopia part. After they answered the correct one, I got some very strange questions like...

1) Where's Ethiopia?
     to which another girl answered:
2) Isn't it near Africa?

I answered through the noise that it was IN Africa, but I don't know whether they heard me. I just thought it was so funny that they had no idea where Ethiopia was. It's not like it's small like..say..Togo, and it's known around the world for it's coffee and stuff.

Hope you are having an AMAZING day!
