So the Tennis was on in the background last night, and in the post-match interview with the Canadian victor, the interviewer said something that made me raise my inner eyebrow. I found an indirect quote of it:
The Australian wrote:"I tried to just stay in the moment after a shaky first set. And I think I did that well," Bouchard explained when asked how someone who is not old enough to drink alcohol in her own country can maintain her composure on such a big sporting stage.
Anyway, when the interviewer said something along the lines of "You're 19, you're actually eligible to drink in this country", I looked to my brother and said "she can drink in her own country too, can't she?"
It's quite possible I'm wrong (correct me, Canadians), but I always thought 18 was the legal limit in Canada and that's just general knowledge as it's not like I ever looked it up or anything so the interviewer came off looking like an idiot, which is probably why the tennis player avoided the question, to stop from humiliating her.
Anyway, I just thought that was an amusing, ignorant blooper coming from someone who clearly didn't do their research (I could be referring to the interviewer or myself, but I'm 98% sure I'm right). Interestingly enough, the newspaper article didn't even correct her so maybe Australians are as self-absorbed as Americans are. Yay, I guess.
