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! 😅

I am ashamed. I hate timed quizzes but thought I'd give it a try. I came to U and thought "there are no states beginning with U!" Guys... I also LIVE in UTAH.
