Awkward LEGO-Related Thing You've Had To Explain To Your Parents?

your parents sound like jerks

They are good people, but not very open minded. I guess people who aren’t used to such “criticism” would assume otherwise. I just have very thick skin and don’t let such stuff hinder me. I also understand why would they say that especially when such toys cost A LOT.

I suppose I watched Chima a couple of times on the TV. Never again.

Middlefingerstudios · May 2, 2015, 8:00pm

oh, I get what you mean, they should have a more open mind though

Bandage_Man · May 2, 2015, 8:06pm

Welp. I live in a culturally hindered country thanks to Soviet Union so…Not much can be done there…

Middlefingerstudios · May 2, 2015, 8:16pm

whoa, wait where are you from?

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · May 2, 2015, 8:22pm

Tacoville.

or sometin like dat

Have you ever heard of a magical country called… Lithuania ?
Let me guess. You haven’t. Also thanks to Soviet Union. Well it’s not like we still live in 20th century, we have made a lot of progress since 1994, but our society, especially the old people (they make, I think, more than 50 % of the whole population), is still not used to non traditional things like people with different sexual orientations, tomboyish girls, people from very different cultures.
I suggest for us to continue this conversation elsewhere before the mod-chopter arrives :P.

It was awkward for me to have to watch the Bionicle movies when they came out and have to let my parents watch them with me against my will. Having to explain everything to them was a nightmare in reality. The worst time was when we watched TLR. I will never forget how embarrassed I felt, especially because I was thirteen at the time. My dad kept on making fun of Mata Nui’s monologue in the beginning and asking questions about plot points every five minutes.

People think LEGO is for kids. They showed the Lego Movie at my college. Mom and I went to go see it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…please tell me you’re joking.

Cordak_the_Cynical_Makuta · May 4, 2015, 1:53am

It’s not an opinion to say the Transformers aren’t bad from a violence perspective. They either are extremely violent, or they aren’t, and it’s a fact that they are.

Shaymin36 · May 4, 2015, 1:53am

OOOOHHHH

I thought you were talking about quality.

Whoops

sorry

Cordak_the_Cynical_Makuta · May 4, 2015, 1:55am

I’d condemn them on a quality level as well, but yeah, that’s a bit more subjective. I’m still not one to forgive movies that do stuff like this:

prepares to bust out into an angry rant about the transformers movies, decides against it

Bandage_Man · May 4, 2015, 11:46am

The most memorable thing about the transformers movies to me is that part when bumblebee peed on a person

Shaymin36 · May 4, 2015, 2:10pm

Why did you choose that emoticon for that…

you like watching someone get peed on!?

Bandage_Man · May 4, 2015, 2:12pm

I’m totally not weird at all
:DDDD

Bendy_Tiger · May 4, 2015, 2:20pm

Sounds like my three brothers during EVERY movie we watch

TeslaEffect · May 4, 2015, 4:39pm

Parents: “Why are you buying kids toys?”

Im still trying to find a good explanation for this to my parents that they will accept and/or understand.
