The Art of Sorting

I've just received a lesson in sorting legos from my wonderful husband and delightful son. Little did I know there was a method to the madness. Mike had these legos when he was a child so he had a step up on me.

• There is a flat piece box
• There is a slanty piece box
• There is a "cool" piece box (apparently coolness is determined by both Mike & Luke)
• There is a box for the "people"
• There is a box for "windows"
• There is a box for "blinky lights" even though they do not blink
• There is a a large box for "bricks" that also holds "completed vehicles"
• There is a box for large, flat, foundation pieces
  

I was thankful that we did not have to disrobe the people except for their "cool" parts (ie wrenches and light saber swords). Even we are not that meticulous.

And you wonder why engineers work "in boxes."

I have to say this though. When they play - it definitely all comes out of the box.
