Yes, our rule has always been no minors. We drink a beer with dinner now and
again, we talk about mature subjects... all in the context of...
I don't ever want to face the day where I stand accused by a minor for
anything and I mean this in the legal way.
"3 Members of the XXLTC, a group of grown men that play with LEGO to
apparently lure young boys, allegedly..."
This is a column in the newspaper I don't want to be a part of!
I have kids and I don't plan to have them taken away. I have seen Child
Services in action and it's not pretty! I'm way more scared of them than the
IRS!
So, sorry all you under 18'ers but that's our country for yeah.
BTW this is about 14-18 year olds or so, there is a different discussion for
'kids'. Certainly setting up the play areas is one of our biggest
attractions and sometimes very entertaining at the show but I really don't
want to trip over 'kids' at a show either.
