HOW ARE LEGOS MADE? (And Other ???s You Don't Have Answers To)

How Are Legos Made? Link

"Sometimes being a parent can make you feel really stupid, and it also presents you with the opportunity to see how much you really don’t know about anything," says Natalie on her blog MOMMY OF A MONSTER AND TWINS! There are two posts from her site that I want to share.

From encyclopedia to cyberpedia, the answer to HOW ARE LEGOS MADE? is answered in detail citing sites from Wikepedia to Lego. She gives you what is equivalent to the Cliff Notes version of how to answer this question; and even if the question hasn't been asked yet, to show how on top of your kids imaginative inquiries you really are. I believe knowing this answer will make you a Super Cool Mommy!

Natalie's other post, that I think you'll find amusing, is 1,000,000 Questions A Day…. Natalie's antidotes on everyday mommyhood are funny...and I wanted to give you the opportunity to share in them.
