Lego Angels

I try not to say no ALL the time...but I do say it a lot. I guess I was in a yes mood when Kyle said, Wouldn't it be fun to swim in Legos?" Visions from the scene in Patch Adams (with Robin Williams) went through my head. You know, where he fills a pool with spaghetti so the elderly lady can swim in it and die happy. So, like a crazy person, I dumped out a bunch of the Legos on the floor and told Kyle to go for it. He didn't want to at first because he thought I would make him clean them all up...smart kid. I promised to clean them up myself so he got in and did the backstroke!
I took a picture of his Lego Angel and then spent the next 5 years cleaning up my huge mess! Because as Kyle (too) cheerfully reminded me, "When you make a mess, you clean it up!"
