This morning the rest of my family and I were joking around at the breakfast
table and as usual I managed to pull LEGO into the conversation. I don’t
remember all we talked about that followed, but we ended up with a laughing
half-kidding qeution, which was: I wonder just how many couples there are out
there that are happily married and eat-sleep-breath-walk-and-talk LEGO?
So I decided I’d ask the world’s largest group of AFOL’s just exactly that: how
many of you couples out there live LEGO to its fullest and remain blissfully
married? :)
