Our Lego Duplo blocks are in short supply meaning we’ll have to get creative to assemble, build, and rebuild new things. I want a house on wheels! is by far the most popular request here. No problem, we can do that, only to do that, we’ll have to demolish that other structure over there. No? But little brother is playing with that! No he isn’t? But I want a house on wheels! How to defuse this situation?

By building a less conventional house on wheels, of course. Or by building a row boat and claiming it’s also a house. Or by attaching a few farm tools on it and claiming it can also act as a tractor. That also works. Hey, no! No brother you can’t have my house! Wait since when is that your house? I’m working on your house give me a minute. Why don’t you build something yourself? No. I can’t. You must. Ok then. No! Brother can’t have my figures! That’s not allowed! Isn’t it dad? Sigh. We have twenty figures. Even if we would have two hundred, I think I’d hear the same complaints.

Here’s your house slash thing. Happy now?

Daddy? Yes? I don’t want to play anymore. But I just built you the thing you really really wanted? I don’t want it. Really? I mean I just… No. Sigh.

Welcome to my summer holiday… Hey! Little brother, no, you can’t eat that! Wait!

I’m sorry, I have to go rescue Peppa Pig’s skirt.
