Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, feel free to get help or share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.
I’ll confirm answers later in the day so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance.

A child is born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents who were both also born in Boston, Massachusetts. However, the child is not a United States citizen. How is this possible?

Child of ambassadors.

I think even the children of ambassadors born in the US would be considered an American citizen and would have dual citizenship at least until they were 18.

The child was born prior to the 1776 when everyone was just British. Just a fun fact, Paul Revere never yelled “The British are Coming”. Everyone in Boston was British. It would make no sense.

since it’s Independence Day, I’d say the child was born in colonial times, before the United States was thought of and before Boston was part of the United States. that is, a pre-independent child
