Hmm..

You ever had a uh..
let's say..
a toy.
Like, a Lego set.
A really awesome Lego set.

You ever had a really awesome Lego set that you just simply loved? It was your favorite one of all time? You always played with it anytime you got a chance to? Even though you had to go to school and do all this other stuff, you'd always charish that little time you had to play?
Well, what if.. what if you noticed one day a piece of your favorite Lego set was missing? What if you noticed that just one day, out of the blue, you were missing a piece? Nothing important, just a simple piece. You'd just say, "It's okay, at least I have the most important part(s)." Right? Well.. What if you noticed the next day that other piece was missing? Just another nonimportant piece, but still a piece nonetheless. What would you do then?
Just say, "Hmm.. Guess I need to be more carefull."?
So you'd start being more carefull, trying to do the best you can to keep your pieces together.

Well, what if that same procedure happened for a while and you kept losing pieces? First the small ones.. then you'd lose like, your little men, and then the bigger pieces started missing.

Then, you find out that you weren't really losing your pieces at all, but rather, that they were being stolen?
What would you do then?
What if the Legos didn't mind being stolen?
What if, they thought to themselves, "Screw this kid, I'm gonna stay with this other kid."? Or, what if they didn't even know they were being stolen?

So this other kid keeps stealing your Legos..
And your Legos either don't mind, or are unaware.

What would you do?
Do you say, "Hey. Those are my Legos. Back off."
Or do you.. steal them back?
Or do you buy a new Lego set?

I, personaly, have always been very fond of my Legos.
Any toy for that matter.
Ask Kyle or Dyllan.
So I personaly would do anything to get my Legos back.
They're mine after all.

But what about you?
How would you deal with the slow loss of your Legos?
What do you think?
