you know how a lot of stuff we own have foreign letters imprinted on them?
Well, I find it incredibly humorous that most of them don't make sense.
For example, I have a lot of stuff from China. My mom brought this jacket here that has a tag saying: Mouth Valley. When my friends went back to China, they took these professional pictures, and one of them had a shirt on with the letters "little girl" imprinted (she was 15, not that little), while the other had the picture background saying "... I love you, I will forever remember you, you are my green grass..."

ps. they remind me of some inappropriate stuff... mouth valley... little girl... ok.. i have a dirty mind.
