Haha, my dad thought I was going to be an engineer when I took to Lego
so well. And then I saw a Captain Harlock cartoon. and made a spaceship
built like a sailing ship. He knew it was downhill from there, hahahha.
But it's a family thing, as he used to build those ships in bottles, as
well as WWII bomber kits. He considers my Gundam kits as the same thing,
thankfully. My mom, on the other hand, fusses about how dusty the
collection gets.
O_O I envy you. I've found a 14 yr old and a 9 yr old (granted, they
are from the wife's side of the family ;-) to be unable to span their
attention for sub-MG kits (HG Eva-01 and 1/60 Strike, respectively).
For my 2 yr old, I count it a victory when she sticks around long
enough for me to put together a small (like 25 pieces) Lego vehicle.
Actually it might only have happened in my fantasy.
OTOH, you can't distract her with anything whenever we are putting
together Ikea furniture, the bigger (and more dangerous) it is, the
more she wants to help. She has a special fascination with hammers
and power screwdriver. <sigh> other two-yr-old babies are well on
their way to music prodigy or golf legend; mine will be a carpenter
extraordinaire.
