Alright, so "Mass." is actually short for the state of Massachusetts, which is a state in the northeastern part of the United States. When you see "Mass." written on a map or in an address, it's just a way of saying "Massachusetts" in a shorter form.

Massachusetts is known for being one of the original 13 colonies of the United States, and it's where the famous Boston Tea Party took place during the American Revolution. It's also where you can find the city of Boston, which is the state's capital. Boston is a really cool city with a rich history, and it's known for things like the Boston Red Sox baseball team and the famous Boston Marathon.

So, when you see "Mass." on a sign or a piece of mail, just remember that it's talking about the state of Massachusetts. It's like a nickname for the state, kind of like how "Mike" is a nickname for "Michael." And now you know!
