> He has a lot of Star Wars legos packed away, and there was a period of time where we got thoroughly sick of Burger King kids meals as he collected the scores of Star Wars toys they put out. Those Star Wars legos get everywhere don't they? I'd almost hate to buy them because they'd fall apart and get lost and would just be a collection of small lego parts that turned up in the most
unexpected places.Ah yes. [Snapshot of interior of my
house in realtime.]And the urge to collect. Sigh.
I finally said we needed to deal with the Lego in the house before anymore came in.
And last week he smuggled a more
prized figure into his homeschool class and misplaced it. Yesterday I helped him search the school Lego pile. Sigh. No luck. Poor kid. I helped him through it. We decided to make a lost poster for the class.I think it went home in someone's pocket. (I kept that to myself.) I'm hoping a lost poster will elicit a kind-hearted impulse.
Then again, they do turn up anywhere.
Yes. Anywhere :-/It's like what my husband and I came up with regarding glitter. It's half-life is tremendous. Once introduced to the house, glitter will spread throughout the entirety and remain beyond the life expectancy of all occupants.
