In honor of my best friends in labor RIGHT NOW, I thought I would post a few pics of Chinese baby culture. Here are the most popular baby fashions in China, split-crotch pants.
Yes, they look weird, and you wonder what the purpose is...well I'll tell you! The Chinese believe and some practice the art of "elimination control" as its named in the US. Or more specifically, the hold the baby over the street or when the get a bit older they teach them to squat down and go to the bathroom, the split crotch pants just provide easy access. I have heard many stories of parents teaching their kids to go, when the whistle, but I have not seen this theory in work...yet. However, someday I make walk down the street and whistle a tune and see if any parents start screaming at their kids to stop. ;)
I tried to get pics that would not be considered indecent, since from the front you can see
everything.

| This little girl is wearing split pants the original way. Many Chinese people cut or shave the heads of their children. I guess it is to avoid having to deal with hair-do's on little children, but I have no idea. |
