Des Moines

me:  Hey, you know what's cool about me?

Ming:  What?

me:  I know how to spell Des Moines.  I spelled it the other day without looking.  

Ming:  Hmm.

me:  How do I know that?  Is it the capital or something?  Maybe I learned it when I was a little kid and it stuck in my head.

Ming:  How do you spell capital?

me:  There are two capitals.

Ming:  Two capitals of Iowa?

me:  Two capitals in the English language.  One with an o, one with an a.
