So over the past week, Owen has been noticing the "made in" tags and stamps that exist on just about everything. And, in the process, has become keenly aware of a certain locale that pops up over and over again. Here's a sampling of a conversation over breakfast this morning:
Owen: (Slamming his Nemo cup down on the table): Made in China! Everything is made in China!
Me: Yes, a lot of things are made in China.
Owen: I want something made in a different state...Hey, do you know how many states I've been to?
And just like that, we start discussing the places he has traveled. Because he is, after all, a first-grader and isn't yet concerned with the ramifications of Americans' appetite for cheap crap. Though from time to time, he does talk about wanting to go to a factory to see stuff being made (he's fascinated by this concept of factories that make stuff), and short of breweries and Harley, I have to rack my brain to think of other factories we could visit.

That's great! He sure is an observant little boy.
What fun! You could take him to the Jelly Belly Factory in Pleasant Prairie (although I think that's a distribution center, not where they actually *make* the candy)...but it would be yummy!
And I'll look around Missouri and see what we can find around here too (because then he could add Missouri to his list of states visited!).
