Several things over the last couple of weeks have happened with the kids that have given us much laughter. Of course, we wanted to share it with you. So, you know your children live in China when:
1. You are eating squirrel fish (click here to see a picture of this fish) at a restaurant and Becca calls out, "So, who is going to suck on the fish head?" She was serious.
2. Whenever Tori goes to the bathroom and you wipe her, she reminds you that "no toilet paper goes in the toilet." Many Chinese toilets just can't handle the paper (I am baffled how the paper causes so much problems when you would think that other things would be worse....) Almost all bathrooms in China have a trash can next to the toilet for your paper. When we were at Hong Kong Disney, my girls were really baffled because there was no little trash can for the paper. Tori kept telling me, "But Mommy, we can't put paper in the toilet." I don't think she believed me that it was allowed.
3. When Josh answers the question, "What year were you born in?" by telling you that he was born in "The Year of the Sheep." He then went on to tell me that Tori was born in the Year of the Rooster and Becca in the Year of the Snake. Gracious! I didn't even know that! Just so you know, we are about to kick off 2009, the Year of the Ox.
4. When Becca comes in from playing one afternoon in our neighborhood and informs you that she "squatted." She had been playing outside, had to go to the bathroom, so she went behind an empty house, squatted and went. Another time we were driving on a highway and Josh really had to go. We pulled off, he aimed at a wall, and away we went. But Chinese do this all the time!
5. When your girls walk into a public bathroom and are really excited to see a "sitting-down potty."
