Ds,9, collects lego minifigures. He has about a hundred of them and he stores them in his bedroom. They are his top treasure of treasures.

Today I was cleaning his bedroom and I came across the box and couldn't help myself. I played with them for over an hour and swapped all the hats, legs and accessories around. Now I can't remember which bit goes where. Confused

I am going to be in so much troubleBlush Blush

I couldn't help myself. I love the minifigures. They are great!

Ha ha ha, you are in a World of Shit when he finds out!

You are in sooooooooooooo much trouble....he will notice straight away and be completely disgusted with you. I darent go near DS lego, I can never remember what bit goes where.....I dropped his lego plane whilst dusting the other day and was quivering at the thought of his wrath. Luckily he forgave me....phew, lol

Boy, soglad I'm not you :0

he he he! oh dear. you had better apologise and ask him to show you how to put it right. it could be some good parent child quality time, or it might not depending on his reaction.

pleeeeeasssse come back and tell us what happened, we could do with a good laugh learn from your mistakes!

Maybe he will assume they came to life and did it themselves.My Dnephew maintains is his teddy has a secret life when he is asleep/at school.He also insists my cat can read!

I think I should get out more too, I'd be tempted to pose some of them, hats in hand as if they are swapping!

And no YANBU!

Yeah, turn it into a story... I'd have to... My DS (6), goes mental if I tidy away any toys on the floor at all... ARGH

Am throughly ashamed to admit that I think he has seen too much news. I have been watching it because we have friends in Japan. I went to his room and he had cars and trains strewn everywhere.. he also had DD' sylvanian family house. I asked him why his room looked like it had been hit by a Tsunmai... (about to go into he should take care of his things because some people have lost everything etc etc Also appreciate I shouldn't have said it probably... it just came out), and he said, "That's what happened". He isn't taken to irony... I look again... House is on it's side, cars laid around... lego men... Take a deep breath and have to explain, it is not nice to make a story out of tragedy... That said, I Do understand that it may well be his way of making sense of the situation (Luckily our friends are ok). Bt woe betide me tidying away before he has finished...

DD's response to the the tragedy was to ask to go to Japan. I told her we couldn't. She said she wants to go so she can rescue people. She told me that we could help two people each, and she didn't mind them having her bedroom. She is 4. I praised her thoughfulness.

Evilclown - what was your DS's reaction?

pingu2209 · 17/03/2011 22:12

You are in sooo much trouble. My ds2 (age 4) would go nutty if I touched is star wars figures.

Evilclown · 18/03/2011 11:58

Well, I took your advice.

When I met him from school I put on a cross/puzzled face. I told him that I was very cross with his minifigures because when I went into his room they were having a party and making a lot of mess.

I added that it took me ages to clear up and now I was tired. I told him to talk to them seriously and ask them to rein it in a bit or I would have to evict them

He asked me if I was feeling OK and would I like a lie down when we got home. When we got home and he noticed that they were all confused he was truly puzzled. I am now worried that I have psychologically damaged him in some wayBlush Blush

Really need to get out more!
