Back in 11th grade, I snuck Lego out from the attic and secretly played with
it in my room. Not much of it, but enough to have some fun with. I hid it
from my friends & family so nobody would know...
One day, my mom came into my room, rather annoyed with me, insisting I clean
it up. She began stuffing things into arbitrary drawers, insisting as she
did so that I had plenty of empty drawer space to "put this mess into". I
tried in vain to shoo her out so she wouldn't happen upon the Lego. But I
was too late. She opened up a drawer, saw a box full of minifigs, and
stopped dead.
What should she think? I mean, your typical high school student's room. What
might you expect to find hiding in a drawer, purposefully away from parental
eyes? Condoms? Drugs? Playboys? Cigarettes? No-- Lego. Who ever saw that
coming? How the heck are you supposed to be mad at your 16 year old son
who's playing with Lego behind your back? What are you *supposed* to say to
that as a parent?
She looked at me, looked at the drawer, closed it, told me "...well... clean
this room up!", and walked out. Cherry red is a pretty red color. So is
cranberry red. But I don't think either of those colors adequately describes
the red that my face turned at that moment. In retrospect, though, I find it
absoloutely hilarious that such a wierd turn of events ever happened.
