You know you've been in China too long when...

This morning Penny was digging through Kevin's desk and emptying the contents onto the floor. But she's a good little girl-- and probably a little OCD-- and put everything back in. The last item was a 2-inch-long white eraser, the kind you might find in a mechanical pencil. She squatted down on her heels and proceeded to smoke it like a cigarette.
Now erasers are on the "yucky" list.

The squatting down detail has me cracking up! Now when she rolls up her shirt and tucks it under her armpits with the belly hanging out -- that's when it's time to head outta Dodge!

I just laughed and laughed at this post. Look out for what Nomads by Nature said, but also pooping in public and spitting in the middle of the street! :) I just linked this post from my blog I loved it so much.

Haha...so funny! Love all your stories. They bring back good memories for us. Not too long after being in China Momo smoked a sucker stick...that was a little bit shocking, but expected after I thought about it. :)

I'm with everyone else, laughing pretty hard here. And I now have my "signs that your kids need to take an R&R" list!

Yeah, at least she hasn't pooped on the sidewalk yet! I think you'd better reconsider your career location if she does that...
