That’s my godson!
Growing up, my favorite toys were Legos and cardboard boxes. I loved them because they could be anything.
With the Legos, I’d create spaceships and army bases. When I’d get a new set, I’d make whatever the instructions told me to make, play with it for a few hours and then rip it apart […]
