When N was in third grade they learnt the province capitals, and the teacher told them that Amsterdam was the capital of Noord-Holland. Now Amsterdam is the capital of the country, and it's actually in Noord-Holland, but the capital of Noord-Holland is Haarlem, where N was born. So she knew; and she told the teacher; and the teacher didn't believe her.

I went to the school to talk to the teacher, and the teacher didn't believe me at first, until I showed her the Haarlem city guide.
