Lego - A suggestion for all parents

I love Lego.  It's the most brilliant toy except when you stand on it in bare feet.

Advice for parents who buy new Lego:  Be anal.  Do everything you can to stop your children's natural enjoyment of Lego.  Make them keep the boxes. Make them count the pieces in and out of the box each time they play with them.  Make them only make the things on the box.  Do not allow them to swap pieces around.  Do not put all your Lego in one big box.


Alternatively.

Advice for parents with teenagers who no longer use their Lego and think about selling it to fund a trip to New York:  Do not let your children look at EBay to find out that their Harry Potter Lego set is selling for upwards of £300.  Do not offer to help them sort out their Lego to sell.  Do not lose a whole Sunday.
