Christina has her father’s temper, alright. She accidentally kicked over this Lego Hogwarts work in progress the other day and instead of trying to piece it back together, she threw it and all the rest of it into the floor, breaking it to pieces. It would have been easy to call it a total loss, I guess, but this shit ain’t cheap, folks, so I swept all the pieces I could find into a Tupperware, brought it to triage, and rebuilt what her anger destroyed. And the best part is that this little girl who never wanted anything to do with this project ever again has spent the last hour and a half helping me track down missing pieces and not only got us caught up with where we were, but passed that into new work. I guess it’s good her mom has more patience than her dad.
