Today is my daughter's birthday, she turns one year old. To help suppress my emotions I've been joking that my wife and I have done a phenomenal job of keeping a helpless tiny human alive for one full year. You know, because it's not about her, it's about us being successful parents... That's cause enough to celebrate, yeah? Joking aside... We've started a tradition, as many parents do, of documenting her growth over each month up to this day. We've been taking photos of her on a blanket printed with numbers (for each month to document) as well as a rough measurement to gauge her height. The blanket, which comes with a simple "frame" to mark the month, was a gift from friends when she was born. What you're looking at here is the back of the bag that the blanket/frame came in. It's a little odd, the back of it being a sort of mesh fabric while the face of the bag is clear plastic. It took me a full year to notice that the "Made in China" mark on the back was actually a sticker rather than being printed on like the rest of the warning.
I didn't want it falling off on its own allowing my kid to find it and immediately stick it in her mouth (if you don't already know, that's what most kids do with something they discover) so I peeled it off to throw it away. I now see why they put the sticker on the bag.
Not quite a "bad translation" moment, but at least they realized the mistake. I'm guessing that thousands of these things were printed and it was just easier to cover it than scrap the lot and start again.
