“LEGO Trains Tantalize the Standard Male Brain”>, from the Courier Post
Online.

I found this line interesting, “I didn’t know you could do that with Legos,” my
wife allowed at one point. But I could hear the sentiment left unsaid:”Or why
you’d want to.”
I’ve never had anything like that said to me. I’ve heard other builders talk
about bad encounters like that, but I have personally not had one. In fact, I’d
say for the most part anyone I have encountered has been very enthusiastic about
adult builders and what they do.
The only comments I’ve come across that could be interpreted as negative were
“You must have a lot of time on your hands.” or “How do you afford all this?”
I’m not offended by these reactions because the casual observer does not realize
they are seeing MOCs built over the past few years and a collection that took 15
years to buy. I will also tell them the average American watches TV more than
four hours a day, I’d
say using that time to build with LEGO is a very healthy alternative.
But, back to the article, I’m married and I know my wife doesn’t really get the
appeal for me. The only thing she knows is that its important to me and it
makes me happy. What more do you need? I don’t get why she watches The View
and Oprah, but if its important to her she can have it.
