I still have a song memorized from when I was in elementary school that lists every state in alphabetical order. I sang along to it on repeat for a solid few hours while building a K'Nex Rippin' Rocket Roller Coaster. Probably drove my parents crazy.

inspired by the quiz i saw for the countries!

take this quiz to see how many USA states you can name in 10 minutes, because i was curious to see if i still remembered. i got all but blanked on wyoming, maryland, and oklahoma. (and i only got nebraska, missouri, and mississippi in the last 10 seconds. when i blank out i BLANK out.)

i can’t believe the fifty nifty united states song didn’t exist when the poets were in school wtf i’m ANGERY they don’t know this mnemonic it was a competition in middle school to see who could sing it fastest and i know they’d thrive in such an environment

Americans who can name all 50 states off the top of their head, especially if they can only do it in alphabetical order, are not necessarily geography nerds and/or overly patriotic.

It’s that there was this catchy as fuck song that they taught us as children and now it lives inside us.

If they put a little “doo doo doo” between Connecticut and Delaware you really know that’s the reason.

important question for the masses:

which state is the least real? there’s a lot of states in the US that i’m not convinced are real, would love your input

[moonsbypadfoot]

weird goofy mattheo riddle headcanons

no warnings, this is just something to giggle at,

and I'm bored, kinda weird

hates muggles but sings the fifty nifty united states

Is convinced that every muggle he thinks are talented are wizards or witches

Always looks annoyed

Certified yapper

Horrible sleep schedule

Likes animals but not bugs

5'11 but always says he's 6'1 tall

A big classic music fan but hates Mozart because he thinks Mozart is too basic

Convinced that the Beatles are all magic

Chronic procasinator

Shirt stealer (picks up any shirt that's on the floor and most of them are dracos shirt or Blaise's shirt)

doesn't say bless you when someone sneeze, but he just stares into their soul

Somehow is always the first to notice when someone's zipper is open

says 'oh my days' as a joke, but then he can't stop saying it

Always scared that he's balding (he keeps asking Draco to look at a certain patch of his hair say 'am I balding? ')

Babysits first years (the first years hate him, so they just stay silent and do anything at all and the parents, also the teachers are thrilled)

'Babysits' = gives a pack of boys chocolate frog so they would shut up (works)

When he's offended he just stays silent and frowns

Takes things to heart

Bonus : his favorite brainrot thingie must be the talking nugget or meow meow meow meow

I'm so sorry I'm just bored 💞🩷🪼🪷🫦

New Jersey, touching New York's cheek: Heyyy- Oh my god, why are you so hot?

New York, sick out of their mind: *finger guns* Good exercise and good hygiene.

[oneefin]

the song "fifty nifty united states" helps you remember the phone number of united airlines, since "fifty nifty" is 50 * 36 = 1800

Picture it: sophomore American history. The year is two thousand and eight. The teacher is known for passing out jolly ranchers, one per student per day, when a kid does a good job. One day, she wants us to list every state in the country. Kids start listing them off in unison, mostly alphabetically, but falter around the I states (this is in Indiana, mind). Except one triumphant voice lingers as every other voice trails off in doubt and consternation. This voice flawlessly recites every state in these United States* as the class and teacher stare in awe, and at the very end the resounding voice makes mention of Puerto Rico and Guam as territories. The teacher wordlessly hands over two jolly ranchers.

A new day. List the presidents. Nobody knows beyond Washington, Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Clinton, George W. Bush–the incumbent finishing up his final term in a few months. Except. One voice–just as triumphant–recites every president, in order, even making mention of Grover Cleveland's non-consecutive second term. Everyone–teacher and student alike–stares again, this time almost in horror. The voice, embarrassed and blushing at the stares this time, finishes the forty-three chronologically, and this time as the teacher hands over another two jolly ranchers she overcomes her shock to ask "How did you know that??"

At which the body that contains the voice shrugs sheepishly, pops a blue raspberry in their mouth, and makes a vague "I 'unno" sound–unwilling to admit that the Fifty Nifty song they sang with their class in a third grade recital had permanently seared itself into their brain, as did the Nickelodeon presidents song that aired during the Oh Four election between Bush and Kerry

*I realized after while at dinner that evening when I told my parents about it that I had completely skipped Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, but the listing was so smooth and confident that no one noticed. I never made that mistake again regardless
