Lego Lad


If you've ever stepped on one in bare feet, you know what a pain Legos can be. If you've ever gathered 397 of them from under the couch cushions, you know what a pain Legos can be. If you've ever tried to extract them from the Playmobile bucket or the Matchbox car basket, you know what a pain Legos can be. If your dog (or vacuum) has ever gagged on one, or your children have ever fought over a very certain, specific, necessary one, you surely know what a pain Legos can be. And by all means, if you have ever coughed up mega-bucks to buy a certain mega-set that got assembled one time before being destroyed and subsequently integrated with millions of other Legos, than you certainly recognize the heartache of Lego pain.

So...why exactly are they the greatest toy on earth? I can't get enough of them, and neither can the boys. No pain, no gain I suppose.
