2     "Let's go," Jean said.
 
3     "Can you name the two longest rivers in the U.S.?" Rob asked.
 
4     "Those would be the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers," Jean replied. "I can even spell Mississippi- M I S S..."
 
5     "I believe you," Rob interrupted, chuckling. "What oceans are on the east and west coasts?"
 
6     "The Atlantic Ocean is on the east coast, and the Pacific is on the west coast," Jean answered.
 
7     "What two countries border the U.S.?" Rob asked.
 
8     "Canada is to the north and Mexico borders the south," Jean replied.
