Psst, Spike, don’t talk to the blockhead.

Way back when I was in high school there was tradition for the graduating seniors to hand something to the person handing you your diploma. Each student in my graduating class handed him a jack and the last person gave him the ball.

Having stepped on both over the years I can attest that the jacks hurt more.

Breaking news headline: "Lego gets jacked up!

not to mention fossilized rice crispies

My kids had millions of legos and built many fantastic things with them.

Try as they might, the jacks just can’t Lego of the past.

Many years ago, we were watching after our youngest granddaughter. She was probably 4 or 5 at the time. When we were getting her ready for bed we noticed a lot of strange bruises on her back. Circles, three pointed stars, lines and squares. We asked her about them and she told us that she had fallen out of the bed onto a pile of Legos. Ouch.

Yeah and the amount of expletives we learned from an angry parent who stepped on them

Not that blockhead again???

they’re equally painful to step on but they forgot the matchbox cars.. especially the fire engine… very harsh at 2 a.m. enroute to the privy

Foot Jammer vs the Tiny Foot Pricks…

This one really frightens me. I have neuropathy.

This is really funny — LOLOL. My poor parents
