BUT I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL JUST ELVIN

"Mema?" she says.

"Yes, baby?"

"What does 'maaade in cheeena' mean?" she asks as she examines the bottom of her new Bakugan from Santa.

"Wha? Oh, um...well," stumbles Mema. "Well, you know how Santa has all those elves, right?"

"Uh-huh," she says a little suspiciously.

"Well, each of those elves comes from a different place in the world."

"Uh-huh..."

"And they each put the stamp of the country they're from on it so that you see how many different elves helped work on your toys. You see?"

"Uh. Huh."

[Hey, I thought it was a pretty good save.]
