Life with Lego Lunatics

Living with a Lego Lunatic

Just in case you think about Marrying a guy with a Lego addiction (having two young Jedi apprentices), here are some tips.

1. Have a Spare Room. A man needs a shed—a place his tools can call home, and where he can potter about in undisturbed for hours and hours. Since we're still waiting for LEGO to bring out its life-sized LEGO Shed kit (estimated completion time 4-6 weeks), settle for the extra bedroom
2. Occupy the Dog with Plastic Chew Toys. I haven't yet noticed primary colored bricks in the dog's poop, but when I do, I know that it's time to hit the petsmart again.
3. Never Dyson within 50 feet of the play area
4. Always Wear Shoes In the House. Have you ever stepped on a LEGO brick?
5. Should a trip to the LEGO factory in Denmark be coming up soon (JUNE !!) remember that someone has to look after the dog.
6. Regular Visits to the Local Toy Shop are innevitable. Oh look at that cool glass monkey head, let's just go in and 'Look'
7. Laugh Every Time you Makes You Watch the "Death By Tray" LEGO movie where you learn that 'Jeff Vader' Runs the Death Star?"
8. Agree That the World Would Be Better If Totally Made of LEGO How simple life would be. A couple of tiles came off your roof? Buy them from the LEGO store, then go up a ladder and clip them back on again. Kids, we're going to build a swimming pool this weekend. A leaky one, but still, a swimming pool. No, honestly. Imagine, if the world was made out of LEGO you would just be able to unclip rogue states from the globe and dismantle them before putting them back in the cupboard, and then the world would just be a safer place. And what if everyone's hands were shaped like those of the LEGO figures? Well, you wouldn't get any work done, for a start.
9. Try to Relate and Even Join in just after his Millennium Falcon arrives. He will also buy a TIE Fighter LEGO set. "It's for you," he will say. "You can do that while I assemble the Falcon." A month later, you will find the TIE Fighter sitting, assembled on his desk.
10.Unconditionally love him and his 2 co-conspirators.

So, there you have it. While it may not be as life-changing as AA or NA's 12-Point Plan, my LEGO-acceptance program should keep you on the straight and narrow.
