December 26th

This conversation with my daughter that took place on December 26th. Keep in mind this happened before I had proper levels of caffeine in my system and while I was still in my bathrobe.

Mom?

Yes sweetie.

Can we put together my Lego Dolphin Cruiser?

Uh-okay sweetie.

Daughter quickly runs and retrieves box with the Lego Dolphin Cruiser in it from under the tree. She brings it gleefully into her bedroom.  I get my camera and decide to document the process of putting it together.

I open the box and several bags of Lego blocks fall out and not one, but two instruction books.

What?!! Two instruction books!


That's when I look at the box again and one very important detail sinks in.
