What are you teaching the kids?

So there are many things that get lost in translation and words that are used in posters and other displays that just appear to be wrong. Can you see the word that made me take a double take in this kids poster?

Yes, that's right folks, here in China, M is for Fondle????? Even more apropos to the picture is the fact that it has an adult with a baby in it. Fondle and babies are just two things you don't see put together in the US ... unless the statement is followed by going to jail. I am not sure what this picture is trying to teach my kids, but whatever it is, I think it is a lesson that we will skip over.
