I can totally relate to that statement. When I worked at the LEGO
Imagination Center, I would hear that all the time. Parent & child would
look at one of our displays, parent would say "That's impossible", child
would look carefully and say "If *I* had the pieces, I could build that..."
I was talking to a kid at one of the train shows where the GMLTC was
displaying. He said that he didn't have nearly enough pieces to build a
layout. I said "do you have a shoebox? You could turn that into a tunnel
by cutting off the ends." He got this look like "you can do that?" - I
patiently told him that you don't HAVE to use LEGO when you create a train
layout, you can use anything you want and have. We just happen to have a
LOT of bricks, so that's what we use - we would never expect every person
who sees our layout to have nearly as many pieces as we do. I could see the
spark in his eye! Who knows? Maybe he went out and got a LEGO train set?
I can only hope!
JohnG, GMLTC
