Aren't you a bit young to be married?
No...I'm 23 and I love my husband VERY much!
You're Canadian?.....can you speak french?
Yes...but not fluently
You're Canadian?....are you from Toronto?
No....I'm from Nova Scotia
Where's Nova Scotia? Is that near Toronto? Or Vancouver?
No...it's on the east coast! (Why is it that most people only know of either Toronto or Vancouver anyway?!)
You're Canadian?.....is it really snowy there?
Have you ever been to Boston? The weather in NS is the same as Boston weather!
You're Canadian?.....do you say eh a lot?
No...I'm not from the country....or Northern Ontario! (Sorry to any Northern Ontarians....I just find they DO say eh a lot!)
You're Canadian?.....your favorite sport MUST be hockey right?
Just because MOST Canadians love hockey does not mean we all grow up with hockey fever running through our veins....I love football...the American style
You're Canadian?....what are you doing in Florida?
My husband works here
Oh...so you married an American then?
No.....he's Canadian too....we moved around together!
You're Canadian?.....do you live in an igloo/have running water/have electricity?
Yes.....you know this is the 21st century....and the scenery doesn't change at the border!
You're Canadian?....how come you look like an American?
How different do you think Canada and the USA are?! (This one I never really got.....do people think we all look like Eskimos and live in igloos?!)
Hee hee....can you tell that I have a
slight issue with the constant questions I get because I'm Canadian?! I have been asked each of these questions at least once since moving to the States. I understand that a lot of Americans aren't knowledgeable about Canada...but some of the questions were just plain ridiculous!!!!
