Setting: Our filthy van
Cast: Me, Lightning and a slew of happy meal toys
Lightning: Momma, what does dis say? (pointing to the tiny words inscribed on the bottom of an old happy meal toy he found in the floor.)
Me: Made in China.
Lightning: Oh. Well, what does dis one say??
(pointing to another happy meal toy, which apparently procreated in the sticky floor of my van, because I can't remember the last time we actually purchased a happy meal, yet my floorboard is always FULL of plastic trinkets and junk hailed from Burger King and McDonalds)
Me: That one also says Made in China.
Lightning, (deep in thought for a moment): Momma, are we Chi-a-neese??
Me: No, baby. We're Americans.
Lightning: Den, why every-fang made fwom China??
Me: Well, they have cheaper factories and labor there. So they make it in China, and ship it to America.
Lightning, relieved, "Okay, good. 'Cause I don't speak Spanish."

LOVE THIS!!!! HAHAHA...So cute, and so true. I can see why he's so confused. A true product of globalization.
I love it and I love how you can remember all these adorable conversations and get them to the blog! Did you know there is a company that will print your blog into a hardback (or softback) book. I did it last year with my blog and loved it so much I plan to do one every year. You never know what is going to happen with this crazy internet and I didn't want to loose all those memories. Your blog is definately worth spending the money on to print. Check it out when you have time at www.blog2print.com. Have a great day!
