civilized ku # 132 ~ Made in China

On our walk through Chinatown I told Hugo that he should get a souvenir.

He didn't object so we spent some time browsing in a fair number of large and small souvenir stores. He loves to browse and weigh decisions about what to buy and is capable of spending hours doing so if left unchecked. In any event, after considering many "Chinese" items, he decided that a white Lamborghini car toy was just the thing - as long as he could also get a NYC Police SUV toy car that I could use to chase his Lamborghini and give him a ticket. Even though it didn't seem very "Chinese", I made it a done deal.

Later on, it occurred to me that both toys were Made in China so what could have been more perfect?
