There is more Lego Drama<\/a>, but this is my personal favorite. It is a matter of some embarrassment to me that even at the age of 53, I love playing with Legos. I had 3 younger brothers who loved Legos and after years of playing with them, handed theirs down to the girls. I had many years of Lego-playing satisfaction, but then a long stretch of years with no Legos in my life. This past spring, when Ellyn and kids stayed with us while she and Jason looked for a new house up north, I had the chance to enjoy them again. I have seriously considered buying a supply of my own – for the grandkids to play with when they visit you understand – but instead I bought a new camera. Priorities. Maybe when Mark and Anna outgrow playing with theirs, they can hand them down [up?] to Grandma.<\/p>\n

I am sure that you remember Molly from our previous Lego Drama<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/a>The other day, Molly was just hanging out with some of her homies, enjoying the view from the heights of their Lego towers.\"\"<\/a>Then out of nowhere, their day was changed by the arrival of GODZILLA BABY<\/strong>!\"\"<\/a>Godzilla Baby does not care about the careful construction of Lego edifices or the lives of those who live there. She is interested only in satisfying her insatiable appetite for destruction. Poor Joe is the first to fall.
\n\"\"<\/a>Godzilla Baby always goes for her victims head first. Molly can only look on in terror as her friend is savaged by the huge beast. Her feet, like those of Lego people everywhere, are stuck, so there is no escape.\"\"<\/a>Sure enough, Godzilla Baby turns her attention to Molly next.\"\"<\/a>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!\"\"<\/a>Poor Molly.\"\"<\/a>Next to fall is Joe. It should be noted that all the male Lego people are named Joe. Mark named them and he is not willing to offer an explanation as to why they all share the same name. It does make it easy to remember their name[s] though not in differentiating between them. Not that it mattered on this horrific day, as they will all share the same fate. Godzilla Baby doesn’t know from names.\"\"<\/a>Sure enough, down the hatch he goes.\"\"<\/a>All this time JoeIII has been waiting his turn. Imagine how he feels as he hears the call that strikes fear in the hearts of Lego people everywhere, “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”\"\"<\/a>Then he fears no more.\"\"<\/a>Once Godzilla Baby had cleared the scene, emergency personnel were allowed to offer assistance, but there was not much they could do. Bobby was understandably heartbroken, though he kept a stiff upper lip and held onto the kitty.\"\"<\/a>The carnage is nearly too much to bear.\"\"<\/a>When is was all over, GB resumed her every day persona of a mild mannered and innocent baby. Only the lone remaining Lego gives her away.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
