Is it on a different plane?

Every night before bed, I read a couple pages from a "World Knowledge" book to the Princess. Facts about our bodies. Facts about animals. Facts about our planet. Right now we're on elements and science facts.

Tonight's pages were around temperature. What temperature is. What heat is. The different ways to measure temperature.

Princess: Oh Mom! We know about Fahrenheit and Celsius!
Me: Oh really baby girl? Did you talk about it in school?
Princess: Yes. In our science section.
Me: So who uses Fahrenheit?
Princess: We do.
Me: That's right. Like when Daddy watches the Weather Channel. Those temperatures are in Fahrenheit.
Princess: Yup.
Me: And who normally uses Celsius?
Princess: CHICAGO!

Uh. Am I the only one who didn't get the memo that Chicago needed to use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit to gauge their temps?
