Sweeeet! Any chance the box was printed (and the copy written) in China or Japan? I lived in Japan as a child and always loved all of the just-missed-the-meaning translations that would get printed on their products. Funny stuff!
I love that she lived in Japan! How lucky!
I spent two weeks in Japan during July 2001. During my cleanout of the last two weekends, I have rediscovered quite a few "funny English" items I acquired during my visit.
Nine Days Wonder: can't recall an important event in my life t-shirt
Back of a shirt
front of same shirt; tags still attached; it was 980 yen (about 10 bucks)
Postcard.
Enjoy your summer vacation!
Best vacation ever!
Postcard.
Toothbrush: it's my daily magic rite!
Always near to me, making my teeth white and putting a smile on my face.
My magic brush!!

Wonder what this says...

Maybe the "Nine Days Wonder..." shirt should actually be read as "Can't recall nine days wonder: an important event in my life"?
The toothbrush card is making me wonder if I take my toothbrush for granted. I never thought of it as a part of my daily magic rite, but maybe it is. ?
I'm at my parents' and I bet they have some relics with fun sayings.... I'll let you know if I find anything worthy of pics! :)
I've read quite a lot about Japanese English, always get a kick out of it. My favorite is the rabbits even though I don't know what they're saying!
