Give A Kid a Cardboard Box.......




Stephen is taking a hiatus from his beloved Legos and has created for himself a Time machine/Transmogrifier out of a cardboard box. He has always loved "Calvin and Hobbes," and has read our three-volume set of comic strips over and over again. He even has his favorite stuffed otter, "Sigmund" or "Siggy" (previously "Hobbes," but changed as to not to copy "THE Hobbes") along with him for the adventure.

Apparently a Transmogrifier is something that can turn one thing into another. In the comic strip Calvin changed himself and Hobbes into many different creatures. So, you can imagine that combining this gadget with a time traveling machine can provide hours of entertainment! Last night he went on three missions. The first mission was to get rid of his homework, the second to destroy his sister's science book (?), and the third was to visit Jason in Taiwan. Evidently only the third mission was successful. Maybe I'll ask him to take me along next time!
