I remember my oldest daughter being read this in school--it sounds great.
100 percent with you on the Lego stuff. It wouldn't be considered A-OK for a kid to take apart and reform another kid's freeform Lego creation, so why should it be okay for the kid to wreck the dad's project, just because the dad liked to do it by-the-books? What if someone likes doing jigsaw puzzles and someone else is like, "Heyyyy, but you know what's even better??? I'm going to spray-paint the pieces black and use them in an art installation!!! And everyone should love this because it's [Spongebob style handwave] ~ creativity ~" Uhh, No. Plus, yeah, way to make the main story characters and their conflicts irrelevant!
