#sol22 March 14 To Vacuum or to Build

 

Have vacuumed them with anxiety,
Have watched building with passion.
Have stepped on them and cursed.
Have hunted for them and lost,
I have stood in line for a long-awaited set.

Get to watch the magic, enjoy the creations,
Experience the stress
As my grandchildren
Transition from Duplos to Legos
Those teeny tiny building blocks 
That fill vacuums and hearts.

"Those teeny tiny building blocks
That fill vacuums and hearts."

What I adore most about that line is that it applies to the grandchildren as much as their toys. A wonderful write.

You capture ALL the experiences with this universal toy. Favorite line as I could connect best: Have stepped on them and cursed. Thanks for sharing.

As soon as o read the title, I had a sneaky feeling it would be about legos! Love this slice!
