Will there be Lego in heaven?


The quintessential question according to my seven year old: "Will there be Lego in heaven?"
His sister's confident answer: "Of course, you buy it from the Lego shops, but you don't have to pay!"

Oi vey! Classic. Needless to say the parentals collapsed with laughter.

"What?!" complained the small boy.
"Never mind, they're just being silly." aka small girl
"No, there's no Lego." from wet-blankie mom
"WHATTTT!!!" exclaimed small boy.

These spiritual conversations can be rather fraught at times. Maybe there is Lego in heaven?

Small girl: "But Mooo-ooom, what about when the sun burns up and EX-PLOOOOODES??"
Mom: "Um..."
Small girl interrupting: "Will we be explo-o-o-oded too?"
Dad gets involved: "No Jess, that will happen in thousands of years from now."
Small girl, intent: "But where will we be?"
Mom: "In heaven."
Small girl: "Will we be able to watch?"
Mom: "Yes, I think so. Sounds cool, hey?"
Small girl, waving her arms wildly: "And then we will be able to fly past the planets and see everything in the galaxy and... and..." (goes on without a breath for 2 minutes solid)
Small boy: "Yes, yes. Lego..."
