Half past one in the morning. You just woke up after falling asleep in the first ad cut of that series that you like so much, that is already going through the second season and that you have not yet been able to see a single whole chapter, at least not of a sitting . So, like a living dead, you go with the autopilot straight to bed to try to sleep fairly comfortably for the few hours you have left until the alarm clock or one of your children sounds. Do not turn on any light to not wake up more than you are, you just want to get to the bedroom, you will fall round and ...
You can barely close your mouth and not release a cue capable of waking the neighbors around three blocks around, without knowing very well how, you are getting a sharp pain from the sole of the foot to the crown. Even now, just awake, you recognize the cause, moreover, you would be able to say the shape and color without looking at it, it is a piece of LEGO that you have stuck in your foot.
That scene and the one that your son has vomited on you at some time are two classics in the life of every father or mother. But They finished stepping on the LEGO pieces with these slippers designed by themselves.
66 years later LEGO takes pity on parents
They say it is better late than never, although in this case I do not know if it can be applied, they have been 66 years late! They should have put a pair of those shoes in each pack for decades.
But finally LEGO has partnered with the French advertising company Brand Station to design your own LEGO shoes.
Made of yellow and red plush and with a padded sole to prevent us from sticking those pieces that have resisted going to their box and that always end up in the foot of an adult, Why do they never nail them, I wonder?
Its design is quite retro and it will surely remind us of those times when it was we who played with the LEGOs and our parents who always found that missing piece.
Good and bad news
The good news is its price, it will be free and here comes the bad news, because LEGO only going to make 1500 pairs of them that will be raffled among all those who fill in their wishlists on the French LEGO website.
It seems that the rest of the remaining millions of parents will continue to be condemned to the night acupuncture of LEGO pieces, but the illusion and the hours of good times playing with them will continue to be wonderful.
Good luck and watch where they step.
