Gifts from the past
Mar 17th, 2010 by Peter
After Mark’s birth, we have a regular visitor from the city district. It’s a nurse checking up on how Mark is growing, learning and similar. It’s a normal procedure here in Denmark and a good safety precaution for us.
The other day she came around when I was working so I had to hear the following from C:
The nurse asked C if Chinese still used bottomless pants for their kids, to which C said: “Oh no, those might be used in tiny villages, but in the bigger cities like my hometown, this was no longer the case”.
Now I look forward to the next meeting with the nurse, where C has to show her the very same kind of pants that C’s parents sent us as a gift to Mark.
I’ll make sure to post a picture of them later.
I see those beauties almost every day and even in a tiny village like Beijing they are still used ;-)
