My favorite aspie's obsession of the moment...

Post Reply New Topic

i understand having obsessions, as i have a few of my own. i think my son has gotten me beat by far. he wins.

my boys' birthdays are 3 weeks apart. my aspie son, going on 14, managed to talk his brother (12) into pooling their birthday monies together to get Legos.

we ordered them last week. over $400 worth. there were 3 HUGE boxes in my livingroom when i came home from work. what have i gotten myself into....

Lego spy missions 1 through 6, Lego spongebob, Lego batman sets, Bionicles....


...egads.

wow, good luck.

Get some duct tape, and put a line down on the carpet. No unassembled legos past that line. That should help you step on less little plastic pieces.

Great, now you got me thinking. What would I do with 400$ more of k'nex...

actually, every Lego piece i step on goes into a box that i get to keep



muahahahaha!

thats heartless!

Can you mail the box to me?

heh. i thought that might stop the abandoned Lego pieces from attacking me on my way to the bathroom at 3am. ...i never seem to step on Lego's anywhere else...just in the hall.

Trust me ,one day your kids are gonna hate the stuff, i have BILLIONS of legos sitting in the closet right now actually , i use them occasionally but i have to pretty bored to use them.

no one has billions of leggos, except the great wall of china.
and no one has counted.

Aw, I miss playing with lego...

i could never get those darn things to stay put togeter.

It is marvelous that they would plan this together and execute it.

+10 points right there.

Legos seem to be a strong aspy activity at young ages, as what you can do with them is
limited only by your imagination.

If you find, that they are getting stale,
package them up in big plastic boxes, and put them in the attic.

Wait a few months, and on a rainy day,
when there's nothin to do....

pull them down again.
They will seem fresh again.

I would point out, that yard sales and ebay are good places to hunt up legos and similar things.
that $400 might have gone a lot farther than it did.

Happy days at your house for sure.

My son is 22 and still builds very intricately designed stuff with legos. Legos are ageless My daughter is into them as well! I love the idea of keeping them if you step on them...I just refuse to go in their rooms anymore, lol

I can't help but think how much fun it would be to take your son to Legoland in California.

It's not much for a themepark, compared to say SeaWorld or Disneyland, but when we lived in northern San Diego I would take my children occasionally and we had fun.

Now if only I can find Pokemon world.
