When education prevents communication

My son was looking at one of his toys, and noted, "This is made in China."

"Yes, a lot of things are made in China," replied my wife.

I added, "That's because they have a lot of people who can make a lot of things."

And then my China-focused MBA kicked in. "Plus they have a production oriented economy that favors exports."

That pretty much ended the conversation, though it probably didn't help anything.

This would have been a hilarious time for him to have said, "...and what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?"
