he is his mother's son

today jack found some legos he got as a present a while back but that i'd hidden from him because they are a little too advanced. for you non-parents, lego sets now come in different skill levels and corresponding sizes to appeal to all children, from babies on up. this particular set has small, intricate pieces to build some kind of crane or bulldozer or something. anyway, we (I) put it together following the instructions, but when jack would try to play with it (in his rough, 4-year-old way), it would break apart. after several times putting it back together, jack had had enough.

"SIGH. mommy, these legos are cheap."

i am oddly proud, yet slightly horrified. heh.
