Three Things

This is what happens when I let my children have free reign over what they wear. Yes, my son is 10 years old. Yes, he dresses himself. And yes, maybe he still needs a little help.

 Who knew bubble wrap was so dangerous? I certainly didn't.

This little note came in a package I ordered from ebay. "This item was shipped from Hong Kong so it may took longer. But we also want you could try to help us to leave 5 stars".

I think I've probably mentioned Engrish on this blog before. I don't know why I find it so entertaining. Perhaps it is because I know how bad my own grammar is when I am trying to speak in another language. It's kind of nice to know I'm not alone.

That is amazing. "Dispose of this bag now." I'm still laughing.
And the shipping info? I love that on top of it all, the 5 star part is not only large, bold, and underlined, it's highlighted. Clearly, "it is very important for us[.]"

Oh my, the international label is so funny! In our business we get products shipped from Japan all the time and the boxes have the funniest translations on them. They are quite entertaining. Recently my husband found a t-shirt with a road sign on it (the one you see when there are curves ahead) and underneath it is printed, "All your canyon are belong to us." It's hilarious, but really only to those who understand the silly translations we see all the time! We love this shirt and the inside joke it is to those who "get it."
