The question is: how is Linus able to reach that high up? That thing is twice is tall as he is.

I bet Linus will be an engineer when he’s grown up.

Charlie Brown actually beat Lucy at checkers? When?

I like how all of the little kids (younger than CB) showed until now are really passionate about something, first Lucy and her checkers, then Schroeder and his piano, now Linus and his blocks.
Unfortunately, only Schroeder kept that passion, Lucy is now a therapist, and Linus is too focused on his blanket and philosophy to even think about blocks.

I remember being amazed by bigger kids, they were like adults, teenagers were basically adults to me.Some big kids were scary, and mean.
