Legos

(1985) just after the beginnings of our legos obsession.

Ever since I was about 5 years old, I have loved legos. My best friend, Nir, and I, used to play with legos just about everyday, for hours. I would come to his house everyday, and we’d pull out his enormous box (I didn’t have much legos) and have at it. In fact, we became friends in kindergarten because of a mutual obsession for legos.

I think legos were really good for both of us. Not just in the social sense of giving us something to do together. But it also helped our imaginations, as well as our technical skills. We are both engineers these days, and I attribute much of that to legos.

Recently, Tobia and I stopped inside a lego store. After I got passed all the envy of “we didn’t have this when I was growing up”, I came across a classic collection of lego people. It totally took me down “memory lane” and I felt nostalgic.

I can actually remember playing with every piece before 1993 extremely well.
