The second thing to share with you is the link to my NickMom post from yesterday. NickMom is the new humor website by Nickelodeon. You may have already seen my link to it on Facebook and Twitter yesterday. If this is the second time you are seeing this, I am sorry and am forever in your debt. If we are together and I see a puddle, I will drape my coat over it so you can cross the street with dry shoes in an attempt to apologize. The post is called "I Wish I Could Be Like: The Mother from A Christmas Story". It is basically the picture you see, but with several bullet points about why I wish I could be that mother. Your support means a lot! Having you over there, even if it is just via a quick click HERE, makes me want to give you a high five. No, a hug. Maybe a high five and a hug? No, better yet, a high five, hug and a fist bump. No, let's just go back to the high five. Fist bumps are just not me. Fist bumps and I don't mix. It's like fist bumps are oil and I'm water. You know? We don't mi... Ohhhhh, you got it already. Alright, alright, alright.

I just love that movie. She IS a saint, isn't she? But she is still tough enough to wash her boy's mouth out with soap. She wants him to be a decent member of society, of course!
Very clever of you!
Love the video - how cute is your son?? And your laugh and accent??
Alright, clicking over to NickMom!
:D
such a great video
After thinking about it some more, I decided to delete the video and insert the graph...
Headed over there now-
Oh that graph is so true, my son is just discovering legos and we have yet to build anything other than a "tower" so they are pretty much just for stepping on at the moment.
I would probably make that bubble indicating the percentage stepped on a little larger. You can connect the dots on the bottom of my feet to make out Orion's Belt.
Congrats on the Nick blog!
The venn diagram is very accurate. I love lego and when my girls were little I'd spend hours with them building stuff. The film is very funny.

all the legos at my house fall into the "%age that Mom wanted more than the kids and foisted upon them so that she had an excuse to sit and build stuff with toys even though she really should grow up someday"
sad, but true :)
Loved your Lego graph. My son had a wonderful collection and you're right. We paid through the nose for them. Guess where they all are now? No, not lovingly stored away for future grandchildren. We gave them away to deprived children. we could probably have retired comfortably on the proceeds had we sold them!
Off to read your post now.
LOL I see a future of legos being stepped on at my house...if I remember from my childhood...they hurt!
Love the Lego graph! It's so true! My kids have so much more fun, building with the mixed up pieces, than actually putting together a "set".
Loved the "Christmas Story" photo, what a classic film! Also, now I want a fist bump from you, your reverse psychology is working on me! - Lazarus :)
A fist bump isn't me, but I am both nodding and grinning at you from afar.
On my way to your link...

I'm convinced that Legos were created by an Uncle of a kid who didn't have kids himself because no parent would want weapons of mass foot destruction in their household.
Just sayin.
I think JDaniel will come up with things just as clever without a box with a fancy creation for us to make.
I'm thinking that if a guy really tried, he could build a leg lamp out of Legos. A Lego Lamp. And if it ACCIDENTALLY got broken, he could put it right back together. Excuse me...I'm off to the patent office!
ooh..lego's love to find the very tenderest part of my intep.
Yikes.
I love nickmom. I enter every dang caption contest there.
On my way now b/c it's you and b/c THE CHRISTMAS STORY IS OUR FAVORITE MOVIE EV)ER.
i've used a lot of legos in my day. rarely used them to build what was on the box though -- so you're spot on
So glad we've outgrown stepping on Lego's in the middle of the night. (LoL)
Now we just have to worry about 'shooting your eye out'. LoL
Glad for the notification about NickMom. You rocked it!
Every box in our house contains Legos at the bottom of it.
Every. Single. One.
And so I ask myself. WWMD?
