    As bad as Legos are, they’re nothing compared to jacks.

    Since the invention of Legos slipper sales have skyrocketed.

    The “All Others” includes those who have swallowed Legos and (kids who) have gotten a Lego stuck in a body orifice.

    “Doctor, we have a patient with a level three Lego injury!”

    “Great Scott, how bad is it, Nurse?!”

    “It’s Lego Batman Movie bad!”

    I saw a Lego walk like a fire walk, online. Forget where.

    I’ll bet if they used lego in a war zone they would quickly be against the Geneva Convention.

    This must be what doctors call a “family practice.”

    Ah yes, the old and simple rules of life that parents neglect to teach their children.

    1. If you open it, close it.

    2. If you turn it on, turn it off.

    3. If you unlock it, lock it up.

    4. If you break it, admit it.

    5. If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can.

    6. If you borrow it, return it.

    7. If you value it, take care of it.

    8. If you make a mess, clean it up.

    9. If you move it, put it back.

    10. If it belongs to someone else, get permission to use it.

    11. If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone.

    12. If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.

    Teaching number eight would resolve this issue.

    At what age do Legos become passe? They were great when the grandkids were young, unused now.
