Highly agreed-- as a kid I built models, then played with them acting out
stories, etc.... now I mainly just build and display. But people still think of
it as playing... Notice that nobody has a second thought about adults who build
models (WWII planes, etc.) or do model railroading; but building with Lego just
elicits a 'childish' image for most people.

It's always great to hear about stories like these-- Making believers from
non-believers! It's good to know that people really can gain respect for the
Lego hobby :)
