As to the rest, you might have a chuckle at a recent conversation I had with a baseball fan when she asked me to guess her favorite team. After several failed attempts at the correct answer she prompted with "Remember I'm from Massachusetts" and I replied in all sincerity "I didn't know Massachusetts had a baseball team." Whoopsie...that went over like a lead balloon.
Enjoy dinner with your mum.

lol... asked my friend (huge sports fan) does Massachusetts have a pro baseball team?
no she says...
Boston must be a State?
