Look At This New Toy

When Bryan and I got our taxes done a few weeks ago, we made the drive up from San Diego to Anaheim to our tax preparer. Then, as we usually do, we go to a restaurant we like in Downtown Disney. On the way out, of course, because the area caters to families (duh!), there is a big LEGO store, we perused through. Bryan must have been feeling generous, because he decided to buy Ian this big LEGO plane set.

Anyway, we put it together this weekend, and I just wanted to show you an observation I made. (I mean other than the fact that of the five people included to staff the airport, of course, there are no women "guys" as Ian likes to call them.)

First, here is Mr. Oblivious Joe Cool Pilot and his jet.



Now, here is the air traffic control tower. Kind of cool, huh?

Look at this Gentleman. Either he is a passenger or he is the Air Traffic Controller. Either way, his evil look screams "Terrorist" or "Holy Cow, You Need A Vacation!" (Or maybe LEGO is representing the truth about our air traffic controllers in the U.S)

Once again, above, here he is again, about to jump off the top of the air traffic control tower. And also, on the wing of the aircraft.

Finally, when I was searching for Joe Cool Pilot to take a picture of him, I couldn't find him anywhere. Finally, I found him in the luggage bin with the suitcases. Apparently, my son had stowed him away under the plane. Hmmmm, maybe he does understand the terrorist/disgruntled employee and hostage scenario a little more than I realize?

And you expect me to get on a plane tomarrow and fly to Pennsylvania??!! No way am I getting on that plane if I see even 1 lego....(tee hee)

What, no female pilot? I guess we should be happy that they didn't include a bunch of girly flight attendants in short skirts with the set!

Ps won't this get all taken apart into a zillion pieces that you can't put back together? That's what happens with our lego sets...

Jen,

LOL! You're funny!

Hey, nice nails, btw.(notice how I zero in on your nails?! I see Legos in my dreams, they're all over our house. We even have Lego waffles!) I should go treat myself and have my nails done. I've been biting them down to stubs lately...

Kristin said...

We also have the Lego waffles... I love legos but man, do they hurt on bare feet!

Funny post and, like Jodie, I also had a moment on nail envy!

Man, that dude is SCARY! Sometimes I wish I had a job where I sat around and designed Lego guys for a living. Oh, the fun I would have!
