Bricks thrown with Anger

The only bricks I ever played with were LEGO's which do technically count because they are called Lego bricks. My brother and I would get out the big blue box of legos and play for hours building whatever we wanted because we didn't like to follow instructions. Yep, we were the rebellious type.

When I was 6 I threw those bricks at my brother.

Don't be worried, I just think he started crying, but they couldn't have hurt that much?
(Besides when we left them out and would accidentally step on them, that actually freaking hurt like no other)

I mean....they are just plastic, not concrete. But I remember that day. My parents got so angry at me. And I didn't see the problem.
"what? it's not my fault I threw those Lego bricks at him!"
"He was making me mad!!"
"He took all the cool Lego things and people!!"
"He took Pantsey!" (pantsey was this Lego character that m brother and I had created together that had really short legs and an extremely long neck. That we always fought over, don't ask me why.)

But Lego's (bricks) have so much potential. You can build practically ANYTHING out of them.
and that's sometimes the worst problem.
You can build anything....So what do you build?

Lego's are like people everybody starts out with  starter pack with the beginning of life.
And most people add on to their collection of bricks.
As they go through their own lives.
But everyone creates something different.
Some make houses
others make dragons, shoes, people, trees, portraits, animals, art.
But no one's creations are the same
they are all different

and that's what makes them so concrete.
