] He's just beginning his teens, but I've been house ] sitting long enough to watch him go from Harry Potter ] toys to Lego Mindstorms and Playstation 2. So on Saturday ] night when I arrived to the empty house, I got a beer and ] went into his bedroom to check out his toys. There were ] immediate telltale signs of "young man" everywhere... but ] there were some Legos left around on his toy chest. I ] looked once and was on my way out, but then noticed the ] configuration of the Lego assembly. It was a compound. ] And in the back, was a child's version of Abu Ghraib. ] Stunned, I took photos. You have to wonder what made the kid decide to recreate this area. What kids (early teens) watch enough news for this to be ingrained in his mind as something to admire? Maybe it's a way of understanding what happened? I can only hope that it's not because a mentor has idolized what has happened there. Dolemite Lego Abu Ghraib |
