My LEGOs
It’s Christmas. I rush downstairs, eagerly guessing what my Christmas present this year might be. I see a large rectangle, and after ripping off the wrapping paper, a large LEGO Brick Box is revealed. The pieces became additions to my existing LEGO sets: I created my own version of a Bat-Plane, though it was a bit off-brand with the mixed colors instead of black. Great battles, tragic love stories, and space adventures formed a story in my head that filled my evenings. Although I didn’t have the LEGOs, my dreams continued the plot that only a third grader could create.
