September 27, 2012: Kids say...not Iowa

Setup: We are watching the Olympics. The announcer stated that the current competitor is from Ireland. Melanie (5) misheard this and proclaimed the following.

Melanie: I'm so not cheering for Iowa.

This is fun on a few levels. First, Melanie was a bit jingoistic in her cheering in general so this wasn't her first dig at another "country". Secondly, the interchangeability of states and countries. And thirdly, the dig on our neighboring state.
