Flying W Things

Had I mentioned that Cameron is good and obsessed with Lego these days?

Lately he has taken to poring over the instruction booklet that came with my old Expert Builder Set Auto Chassis (set number 956 for the curious among you). I've made it pretty clear that he can't play with it until he gets a little older but he seems to enjoy going through the book and checking it all out.

The back cover has pictures of all the other Expert Builder sets from the late 70's. He thought these sets were all still available until I explained to him that they all dated back to "when Daddy was a boy."

He spent some more time poring over this page before looking up at me and saying "Dad, I wish I had been alive in the olden days so that I could have all these sets."

"Olden Days?" Come a little closer, kid, so I can hit you with my cane...
