Legos Are Fun For Everyone

I'm bested by my grandson, who's not an engineer because he outbuilds me in Lego construction, I fear. My contention overwhelms me with dread and woe, because Lego toys are addictive, as I'm sure you know. I built a house only using the colors of red and blue, but always find I'm one Lego short. What am I to do? A nine-year old outsmarts me, doing it much better. He's focused on the task at hand... a real go-getter! All over the living room floor, they end up scattered. I enjoy feeling like a kid again... that's what mattered. Sometimes I erect something equal to an architect, but too soon it breaks apart and my effort is wrecked! One day I carefully assembled a church and its steeple, proud of what I'd built... pews and itsy-bitsy people. Then, my grandson said, "Nana, you used every Lego!" Then he dismantled all my work and deflated my ego. Legos present a challenge to adults and kids alike. They're more fun to play with than riding a new bike. I lose tract of time when I'm playing with Lego blocks. Never want to put them away so I don't look at clocks.
