Athens, Italy?

We were watching Travel & Living the other day and there was a segment on Greece.

Me : I wanna visit Greece one day. And Italy.
CL : Athens is in Italy, rite?
*Me and sis looked at him blankly.
Me : Err, Athens is in Greece la.
CL : Eh? Where's the Colosseum then?
Me : That's in Rome la!
CL : Oooohhhh, I meant to say Rome! Heh...

Farney. Hehe.
