Last night, Son the Younger was in his room playing with LEGOs, when I heard him crying. He'd been trying to separate a small flat piece from another flat piece and tore his thumbnail to the quick. I bandaged his thumb up for him. A minute later, he came out crying again, having torn up his other thumbnail just as badly.

I set him up to watch a movie after that, for once feeling completely justified in having him do something completely passive.

Time for him to acquire a brick separator!

Let me know if you want me to pick one up at the lego store for him.

(and OW!)

A brick separator would be wonderful! Thanks for the offer! But you'd have to make it two: one for each boy. Oh, and I'm going to be in the Boston area around about July 5-9, so if you want save on postage, you can procrastinate on getting them.

Will do!

(ooh, we'll have the nephews here around that time, I see some serious board game playing in our future :)

Not two. Three. Or four. They get lost.

Shh, this gives me more stuff to give them in the future!

Ow! :-( My older one would bite them off, so we have a bunch of legos with teeth marks.

Heh, I used to do that, too. Lots of my LEGOs had teethmarks.

I did that, too.

Ouch! I've hurt myself plenty on LEGOs when I was a kid, but I'd mostly gotten gashes and scratches...

This reminds me of the time [livejournal.com profile] ultranos stabbed herself with her leatherman trying to open a box of legos.... Ah, 6.270, what would we do without you.

Anyway, [livejournal.com profile] balmy_fool and I will be in Boston July 7-11. Maybe we will bump into each other. :)

I agree with everyone else

I have so been there! The flat-flat problem is the worst. Especially the identical-flat to identical-flat. Phew.

Yup - teeth marks, but I had to hide from my dad when I did it, since they were HIS LEGOs and he did not approve of teeth-marks...

Still - I hope they don't start regulating LEGOs, or change them - they work well and we just need to be careful on our own. I'm so sad that no parks have tall swings anymore ...
