Prince Edward Is A Land

Every time I look at my map of the world shower curtain, I am distracted by a typo. I know this sort of thing plagues everyone. Most people these days have a fiance who registered for a map of the world shower curtain, have sisters-in-law who bought said shower curtain and have a husband who insists on hanging up the map of the world shower curtain, so I know you’re all with me here. What distracts me every time I pee is something off the coast of South Africa, named Prince Edward Isaland.

Prince Edward Isaland is just one of the many mysteries of my map of the world shower curtain. For example, why does South Africa have three capitals (Bloemfontein, Pretoria and Cape Town, in case you’re curious)? Why did the makers of the map decide that Canada should have its provinces listed and America its states while other countries have no such distinctions? Why isn’t Lichtenstein on my map, you tiny country hating bastards? What other tiny countries that I have no clue exist aren’t listed on my map?

Lately my kitten Moxy has taken to walking along the tub edge between the curtain and the liner. This gives the effect of a large animal attacking much of our Earth. Occasionally she bats the map key and glances towards the coast of Australia. I feel I should warn these countries, lest they think the United States has built a powerful war kitten and counterstrike with atomic puppies. I don’t even want to think of the damage that could be done to Prince Edward Isaland. After all, it is a land too.

LOL I found this post because I just looked it up (after peeing and looking at my own shower curtain)!
