When I was young many older people referred to the country as "Old Mexico". I'm guessing that started when New Mexico became a state. I said something to my grandmother once about Mexico and she asked, "Which one, new or old?"

When did they come up with this fifty-nifty song? I never heard of it. My son, who is 18, says he never heard of it either.

It’s funny, but I grew up in New Jersey, and I don’t have any recollection of having to memorize all the states. I do remember though, very clearly, having to memorize all the counties in New Jersey! 😅

Well, Uncle Joe has a little weird grasp on reality, so it actually really seems more likely that DC will become the 51 at the moment. Or at least, I haven't heard him speaking about how the Puertoricans deserve a representation.

Well, I got them all with 33 seconds remaining... and I have NEVER learned a song for this! Haha kinda proud of myself (for those who did learn the song, congrats on finding the one place you'll ever need to know the states in alphabetical order instead of by where they are 😉 😄 ).
