(...) I usually just reply that I don’t "play" with LEGO - I design and build. If they can’t understand that... well, their problem... That being said, I think that TLC could do a bit more to get adults into LEGO. For example, take a look at their (...) (16 years ago, 14-Sep-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) First off, I'll offer you the suggestion that the answer isn't "no", it's "yes!" Not to get all psychological, but if you answer "no", but still claim some sort of personal association with Lego, their assumption may likely be that you're (...) (16 years ago, 14-Sep-08, to lugnet.general)

I've had that same kind of question asked of me before. My response differs on the way that they ask it. For example, the question, "You still play with LEGOs? What are you a little kid or something?" would be retorted to with, "Well, if I made (...) (16 years ago, 14-Sep-08, to lugnet.general)
