Hi, Barbara   10/11/2004

About 20 years ago, the Boston Science Museum (I think) had a giant
Lego "sandbox"-- a large area next to a big window, filled several
inches deep with  Legos, with some benches and pillars. After my
husband and our 5 yr old had played all they wanted in the Legos and
went to see other parts of the museum, I stayed on. I was very
pregnant and not eager to walk. I spent a couple of very happy hours
absorbed in picking out all the transparent pieces I could find and
making a free-form construction.

The kid who was born later that summer has always been full of
envy--unlimited Legos, and no one telling you to pick them up and put
them away!
