Case in point happened this morning and last Christmas and at least 300 other days a year.
The question, posed by mexicanjumpingbain, is innocent enough: "Mom can you put this back together?" It was a Transformer. I am always giving myself pep talks - internally, of course - so I attacked with the vigor of a kid. After about 15 minutes, which in transformer-land is an eternity, I still couldn't get one side to go back together and actually transform into a car. Uggghhh, defeated again. I gave it back to said 6 year old with a sigh, and a suggestion to let the magical babysitter take over.
So here's my thought: What I need is not how to change a fussy baby, or solve a disagreement. I am a practiced parent at those things. What I need is the a book that can decipher the code called "instructions" when one of the bains get Lego for his birthday and I have approximately 10 minutes to put the masterpiece together. I would like to know why there are so many "weapons" with action figures that rarely make it home. I would like some instructions with Transformers; perhaps it would take a CE course, but I'm sure I can master those things if given the right tools...
