He replied with, &#8220;Actually, I might spend the rest of the day building a Lego stationery case so I don\u2019t have to put all of this in my pocket.&#8221;  This amuses me on many levels.  One, because he said &#8220;stationery case&#8221; instead of pencil box or something more basic.  And two, because he said &#8220;so I don&#8217;t have to,&#8221; as though there was any good reason that he DID have to carry a pen, a pencil, a pen light, and two pins in\/on his PJ pocket.  Like those were necessary tools for a Saturday afternoon and his day would just be easier if he had a Lego stationery case.  Funny boy.  He ended up drawing Transformers all day anyway.  I guess the stationery kit will have to be a project for another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I am thankful for my geeky kids.
