Legos

I should have known. I should have listened to my wife. I didn't think ahead 4 years into the future when I decided to dump all my legos into one big ol bin. I didn't realize how frustrated my three-year-old would be with me when it takes me hours(no I'm not kidding) over a course of three days to build a lego train. Have you ever tried to find a 1x1 square piece in a pile of 1000 other lego pieces? I used to like legos and I remember the days at Paul Hintgen's house building legos for hours on end with a big bin 'o legos. I realize now just how much time we had to devote to legos. I didn't own a watch back then or play a lot of sports other than baseball. Josiah luckily is still very interrested in the train but won't be playing with it for probably another 3 days. I think I owe it to the little guy to finish the stupid train due to the fact that we utterly crushed him by not getting this $80 yellow train he saw at Toys R Us that was within eyesight of the return counter a few weeks before Christmas. I will finish the train. I will sort the legos. I won't be buying any more legos for a long time.
