Have any of you checked out Lego's lately?
If you haven't, you are in for one Hell of a Treat when it comes time to purchase them for your budding Engineer/Rocket Scientist/Child that will make you look DUMB.
Cause they sure as Hell are NOT like they used to be.
I remember a plain bucket of bricks...and you just built and built and built...and knocked them down...
Now they come in Sets. Pirate Ships. Star Wars. Cool stuff.
Neat...this will be really cool.
My parents would never buy them...now I completely understand why.
They hurt...and they are annoying little fuckers.
Not the kids...the Legos.
I bought a rather benign set for Kiddo for Christmas. They were for the 3+ age bracket. They made a firetruck/ambulance/police boat.
Cool.
How hard can this be?
We are going to have fun BUILDING something COOL.
Yeah...you open up the box to about five bags of assorted pieces...and a diagram that only a rocket scientist or a seven year old boy can figure out.
Because this 36 year old Journalist/Medical Assistant can't do it.
I poured out the bags...
Spread out the diagram...
Turned the diagram around...
Flipped the diagram over...
Shuffled some pieces around...
Attempted to get the base of the police boat together.
Got annoyed.
Decided to just Fucking Hide It until The Husband Gets Home.
