Alec always asked us where things were made, like his toys etc. (He knew that things that were made in China were not always safe.) So every time he asked and the item was from China he would go and put it in a bucket which he named his "China bucket". His bucket was full and once something was in the bucket, it stayed there.
So now whenever we hear or see that something is made in China, we say it has to go in the bucket. Papa especially loves this.
For Cassidy's birthday, she wanted an Alex and Ani bracelet, and when I looked at them, the "Sister" one is the one that grabbed me most and I knew Alec wanted me to get it for his Taa, plus it is from their,"Because I Love You" collection and the meaning of it is :Sister--Irreplaceable/Forever/Friend. As I was wrapping up for Cassidy, there was a note card inside that said,"Proudly made in America with Love". I knew this made Al happy because it would not have to go in The China Bucket. I felt Alec say these words and wrote them to Cass, "Look Taa, it's not made in China , it doesn't have to go in my China Bucket!"
