Upon hearing that Mattel was recalling several toys made in China, including the much-beloved Polly Pockets that can be found living throughout my house, my wife decided to explain the situation to my inquisitive daughters. (Incidentally, they had already noted before that a lot of toys were made in China).
Anyway, my wife explained that some of those toys weren’t safe, etc. and the people who made them were “recalling” them for safety reasons. To which my clever daughters replied, “Well, we don’t have to worry, then. All of our Polly Pockets came from the North Pole!”
My wife said she didn’t tell them that sometimes Santa outsources to China.
{N.B. We don’t have any of the unsafe Polly’s in our house.}
