Ben, Global Economy Expert

This was a conversation that took place a few nights ago at the dinner table.

ME: Kids, do you know where your Uncle Mike is right now?
BEN: Where?
ME: He's in China.
BEN: But how can he talk to the people there? Does he speak Chinese?
BECCA: Chinese? Chinese is food!
ME: Yes that's right Becca, Chinese food comes from China.
BEN: *Everything* comes from China!
ME: Oh yeah? Why do you say that?
BEN: Because every time I look at the tag on one of my toys it says "made in China"!

Why is Uncle Mike in China? Even 6 year olds are aware that *everything* comes from China- at least, very observant ones are.

he was in China for work. Another worthless trip around the world. We just have to get him back on his regular sleeping schedule now.
