An elderly woman lived on a small farm in Michigan, just a few feet from the Indiana border. Their land had been the subject of a minor dispute between the two states for years. The widowed woman lived on the Michigan farm with her son and three grandchildren.
One day her son came into her room holding a letter. "I just got some news, Mom," he said, "The federal government has reached an agreement between the two states and they've decided that our land is really a part of Indiana. We have the right to approve or disapprove of the agreement. What do you think?"
"What do I think?" his mom said, "Sign it! Call them right now and tell them we accept. I don't think I can stand another Michigan winter."
