O-H-I-O

Mom: "I don't know if I've ever told you this, it's kind of stupid, but when I was a kid we always used to love the word Ohio. Ohhhhhh-hi-yo! Isn't it cool? A 'hi' in the middle with two 'O's around it? Ohio! Spelled the same way front and back, as we used to say when we were kids."

(beat)

Matt: "Um, no it isn't..."
Mom: (Blank stare)
Matt: "Backward it's oy-ho."

(Much laughter ensues as my mother realizes she can't think coherently before her morning coffee.)

Matt: "I'm putting this on my Web page."
Mom: "Get out of my room! Go away!"
Matt: "No state is spelled the same way forward and backward."
Mom: "I'm sure there's one!"
Matt: "I don't think so."
Mom: "Maybe we were thinking of 'Dad' or 'Wow.'"
