That trade-off also includes sleeping through the night and not worrying about random things being flushed down the toilet. I'd take never seeing a lego again to keep that the status quo in my household.

Just buy the right Lego sets with the buckets of cash you save by not having kids. Those little fuckers are not free, even before you account for all the space you have to get for them. I could buy a Lego millennium falcon every months of I didn't have a kid. I'd rather have the kid. He's awesome.

Playing with noisy toys with your kids is half the fun of having kids. I don't get why anyone wouldn't want to do that?

lego chat reminds me of a game my little brother came up with when he was like 6 where we'd build a big tower out of multiple jenga sets and put every lego person we had in and around the structure, then roll golf balls at it and see who survived the longest. all the figures were generic lego people (i don't think they had started doing licensed ones outside of like star wars maybe) and he named each and every one of the lego characters after figures in the news, so there was a george w bush, bill clinton, and notably, a dick cheney who had the diving suit "life support" and we always put him in a bunker

my sister and i would make spaceships and then huck them at the floor next to each other, so they would explode like space ships do in movies. for some reason my parents were not fans of this

My dad is a doctor and had some kind of grudge against toys that shot things, I specifically remember once when I was a kid I got some kind of toy gun that shot rubber pellets for christmas which he promptly took away and mangled so it wouldn't shoot anymore. On the plus side I still have both eyes.

Paladinus posted:It's actually Lepin, which means 'fake lego'. lepin is actually a way better name too cause pin means to put things together, like assemble a puzzle but also like to share the fare for a cab by putting together our money le means happiness/fun. lepin means 'fun to assemble' edit: idk if anyone cares but the chinese name for Coca Cola is pronounced basically exactly the same except two syllables flipped around 'kekou kele' and it means more or less "Tasty Happiness" and it always blows my mind how good that is pepsi is "Baishi" which means like "One Hundred Matterings" or some poo poo adn sounds nothing like pepsi
