Amazing interactions with kids
I found this article, Why We Banned Legos, to be incredible. At first I was drawn in by the obvious reference to LEGO. Curiosity drove me to find out what egregious crime it was that my beloved LEGO brick had committed that would cause it to be banned. Soon into the article it became clear that the focus wasn't on the LEGO, but rather on what these children's LEGO community had brought out in the children and how they explored it. I was completely enthralled by the article and the processes they described. The things that children can teach us about ourselves and society are astounding, if only we have the ability to observe them honestly and as close to objectivity as we can.
Thanks to Brian Little for posting about this on Wired blog Geekdad.

Interesting article....I confess I did not read the whole thing. But what I did read was quite cool- to see how kids perceive ownership and gifts and what is fair.
I got my first small container of "brick wall" bricks from the Lego Store. And they had a PINK brick keychain! (Which they said sells out pretty quick when they do have it.) Shhhh- don't tell Jenny, but I got one for her. I have some pieces that I don't really know what they are- next time I see you, I will try and bring em with me so you can "learn me some Lego", k?
