Pater: Så mange tak, Ole Kirk Christiansen!

Posted by Pater , Monday, March 9, 2015 12:33 AM

Pater and Mater would like to give a shout out to Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Danish genius who has made our life so much, well, quieter. In 1949, this wonderful man and his company decided that children should "play well", or leg godt in Danish, by sticking colourful bricks together.  Pater and Uncle Tel Aviv spent many years as young avocados playing well and now, with thanks to Ole, so too do you, AJ1 and AJ2 (and AJ3, under eagle-eye of Mater until you stop putting everything in your mouth).

Like millions of children throughout the world, all of you Avocado Jnrs have discovered the sheer joy of playing well at home, in a store, or even while watching a movie.  Truly, everything is awesome!  And unlike most toys out there, you've quickly realised that Lego (leg godt=Lego for those who didn't make the link) can be enjoyed together...

...or alone...
All of this is reason enough for Pater to be effusive in his praise of Mr Christiansen.  But there's more.  Okay, Pater will say it, LEGO IS OUR SAVIOUR.  It has got us through scary first haircuts...
...and provided inspiration when the well of costume ideas has dried up...
Så mange tak, Ole Kirk Christiansen, fra Avocado Juniors. Du er et liv pauseskærm!

1949? We didn't know about Lego when I was growing up. I had Mecano. The pieces were made of metal. Lovely to see your kids growing up :)
