Brian was sitting down drawing before bed tonight, and I was enjoying the quiet of the evening when said quiet was interrupted by Brian saying in a loud voice "New Hampshire!"
I looked at him quizzically, and he responded - "I just thought of a state."
I asked him if there was anything in particular that brought New Hampshire to mind, and he said no. Ditto to thinking anything in particular about said state.
Just a random blip in the brain of a five year old.

{Edited to note: I should add, there is a USA state map puzzle at his school, and he loves it - it's pretty neat, actually, it gives interesting little tidbits about each state. He knew that when we were headed to RI, it was the smallest state in the country. And he'll also randomly know what color each state is on the map... at least on the puzzle map, I'm not sure if he realizes that it could be different on every map.)

my kids have a battery-operated map of the united states with a voice that speaks the names of the states, their capitol cities, population, year of statehood, fun facts, etc. we found it at a tag sale. i find it amazing that my son (who is 6) now knows where many of the states are and random things about them! but it also reminds me that i had a pencil case when i was about his age, with a map of the US on it, and dials that you could turn to match up the state with its capitol, and i knew them all. a lot of information is being transmitted into those cute little heads about now!
