Stamp of Approval

 Noah Conrad and Kirwan Mahoney have been wondering about Daddy John's recent mysterious absence; frankly they're a bit miffed they've not received any attention.  

They've gone out to investigate...

Kirwan Mahoney: What's going on here?  
Noah Conrad: It appears he's in the midst of a project of some sort.

Kirwan: 'Blue Brixx'?  What's that?
Noah: It looks like Legos.  Oh, a Lego-type kit!  Impressive.
Kirwan: You admire this! I wonder where it came from.
Noah: He's building something; what's not to like?
I think I heard him say that Auntie Tricia helped him get it.

Noah:  Oh, ho!  Very smart.
Kirwan: What?

Noah: He's organized the bricks by color.  

Noah: He's laid out his tools neatly and within reach. 

Noah: He has the directions close at hand and 
appears to be following them carefully.

Noah: And he's working under good lighting conditions. Wonderful!

Kirwan: Slow your roll, Norm Abrahm.
At least he's staying hydrated.  Well, sort of.

Noah: Yes, yes.  I very much approve, all told.
Kirwan: But he's spending all his time on this!  And none on us!
Noah: This will have a definite completion date.  Once he's done he'll be back to playing with us.
Kirwan: Bah.  He could've at least asked us to help.
Noah: Ha!  You'd've just mixed up his brick colors or 
replaced the instructions with the vacuum cleaner manual.
Kirwan: ...Okay, true that...
