The Almighty Lego


All hail the perfect toy. My children and I were moving the last few things from the old house to the new this moring and the garage was full of *trash pickup stuff* that was not ours. We found a box containing three complete sets of Lego stuff. Then, we found a Lego suitcase type thing that contained full instructions for each set. Wow!! Had I found this first I would have recycled it into an amazing Christmas gift for them both. I did final cleanup for 4 hours and the boys sat on a blanket in the empty livingroom and played together the entire time(not counting potty and snack breaks) Let us look at the Lego. A simple toy, alone it is a plastic brick..combined with a zillion partners and it becomes a pirate ship or a desert island or a super-fast-dino-eating-shark-fish(hey, it happened). There are no batteries, no pseudo-flesh eating acid to spray on some unsuspecting villian-heck even the so called villians look friendly in Legoland..I think this simple toy supports my theory that kids do not need to be led into playtime. They do have imaginations and even if they are rusty from disuse, I believe that the powerful Lego could set them free..LOLOL I do believe that Santa is now on a search for a Lego table..
