Boys Will Be Boys
Dear E.B.,
Making toy guns out of these?
Gets you a time out at preschool. I'm sure someday someone at the Lego company will appreciate your artistic ability and imagination and demand to hire you as Creative Director because you make the most awesome toy guns ever, but for now? No.
Are we squared away on that?
Good.
Love, Mom

i am not sayin' i like it, but that's what boys do. seriously, no one has to even teach them. a time-out, really? :(
HAHAHA! Sorry! I have been there as well! I am not sure where boys learn this stuff. We don't have television in our home and they still make stuff into guns.
I think you pegged it: boys will be boys!
Have you been to Legoland? I hear great things!
So true...boys will be boys...and they will make a toy gun out of whatever they can find!! :)
That is what boys do, mine have never been around guns but they still do it. That is when they aren't building towers out of the legos.
Oh no! At least it was a time out and not worse! It definitely seems to be a boy thing. I think my kid can make imaginary guns out of just about anything.
Have to say I don't really think that deserved a time out. These are the things that make boys boys. Poor EB. I take his side on this one.
I agree with most of your readers - a time out? Boys pick up sticks and 'make' guns. It's what boys do, and many girls. Seems harsh to me, but that's me I guess.
Good luck, more with the school than the kid. He's sounds a-okay to me!
Legoland is awesome, but not as big as you would expect for it to be called a "land". But they do have some pretty cool creations and a small area for kids to play.
Yea, boys will make anything and everything into a gun. They don't need to be taught this, it's in their dna. My son comes home with wood chips from the park that look like guns.
