This is a true story. When my oldest was four he wanted a bike. So for Christmas that year Santa brought him one. My husband and I stayed up late putting it together. Final step was to pump up the tires. The next morning Andrew woke up and was so exicted to see his new bike! My husband took him outside after he was dressed to try out his new gift. He sits on the bike and we notice the back tire is flat. My husband pumped up the tire. Minutes later flat again. My husband determined (while Andrew was looking over his shoulder) the intertube had a split seam. My husband said "Darn thing was made in China." Where on earth would we find a intertube on Christmas day??? Luckily Wallgreens was open and had the correct size for his bike. But the story does not end here...
A few months go by and I go to pick up Andrew at his school. He is now five, older and wiser. As I am signing him out, his teacher comes up to me. She says Andrew said something interesting today and upset another child. Now I am confused because she is similing, almost trying not to laugh. A little girl was talking about Santa and the North Pole. Andrew stated "Santa does not live in the North Pole anymore. He lives in China and that's where all the elves make toys." The little girl tried to argue with Andrew, but he stood his ground. In a way he is right. What toy is not made in China???
ADORE! They ingest, rinse and repeat :) so funny!
