Friendly reminder to wash your kid’s Lego’s every once in a while.

My kids inherited a substantial batch of Lego from their cousin. The Lego hadn’t been played with for a while and some parts looked a bit dusty. So, after separating the screen printed parts and the parts with stickers, I put it in the tub with a cap of all purpose cleaner. My nephew’s parents are tidy and clean people and I wasn’t prepared for the water to have this color. I mean, the Lego looked clean enough, so I was stunned!

FP Edit: Wow! Frontpage with a tub of dirty water! I’ll never understand this website, lol. Few points: I’m/we’re not germaphobes; our kids play outdoors in dirt and water every day. Thank you for your concerns about their immune system. We just thought it would be nice to give the Lego a fresh start with its new owners, that’s all. It’s LEGO, not Lego’s or Legos, as has been brought to my attention often and fiercely. I have accepted the error of my ways. I always thought that ‘Legos’ was the common term for LEGO® in the US. I apologize for getting the terms ‘cousin’ and ‘nephew’ mixed up. As it turns out, this rendered my post neigh illegible for some imgurians. In my defense: I am not a native speaker and I wrote this post at midnight, hence the grammatical errors. Although I have adjusted the text, I’m currently in a holding cell at the British embassy in The Hague, awaiting my extradition to Oxford to stand trial for my crimes against the English language.
