"Luck Be A Lego Tonight"

The boys were discussing their "work" in Daniel's room, the other evening:

Ian:  I'm in the middle of building a Lego jail.

Daniel:  You're building a Lego jail?  Keep doing it, because I think I have a Lego bad-guy somewhere

Then Daniel reported that he was having a Lego Crisis.  Then he asked me, "What's a crisis?"  I explained that a crisis is a very big problem.  It turned out that a very big problem - or "crisis" - is exactly what he was having, because he couldn't find the Lego part(s) that he needed.   So he had an observation on this little bit of serendipity:

"So I used the word that was the real thing, and I didn't even know what it meant."
