Wonderful day.....

....my son said he'd had a 'wonderful day' yesterday as he'd got two huge Lego kits for £10.

He's 27......

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    If your 27 year old son is into lego rather than booze, drugs and wasting money, then I take my hat off to you! Even if he is 27!! :T

    The fact that he can find enjoyment in the little things in life (scuse the pun! :rolleyes: ) is great!! Hopefully he can one day pass that ability onto his kids!

    My Oh is thrilled that we are getting a scaletric kit for the little ones. I wonder if they will ever get a chance to play it?

    He'll probably like Tesco's deal of the day then - Knightrider boxset ;)

    My colleague gets his Lego purchases off Ebay delivered to work. He is 28 and spends a lot on Lego trains and Star Wars lego. I think he plans to have a Lego train running round the downstairs of his house!

    I am sure that will impress all the ladies!

  • My son had a 'perfect day' last week when I took him to the Maize Maze just outside Bath.

    Up to our knees in mud - running through the maze - a long stick with a flag on the end ... he paused mid-maze, gave a deep sigh and looked at me and said "even the sun is shining .. this is my perfect day"!!!!!!

    Ahhhhhhh - let's hope he remains so easy to please!!!!!!:D

    (He's still only 8, by the way!!!)

    Haha, that sounds just like my partner - he's 28 and can't go past the Lego store without popping in. I think his child-like enthusiasm for everything just makes me love him more though :D

  • Hey thanks, you've all made me laugh, I thought it was just my son who loved these things!

    Pulliptears, he would LOVE an Atat - he had one when he was little and is always blaming me for giving it away!
