My mom is a cross stitcher and when I was younger she made this beautiful sampler type with the name of each state and a little picture representing each state. Well, she had the whole thing finished, framed and hung before I noticed that she had spelled Alaska "ALASAKA". She made me swear to secrecy and just left it that way. From that day forward I always pronounce Alaska "Alasaka" in front of her and we laugh. The sad part is she lived in Alaska for a year!!
