    Saw a big 48 pack of the brand of TP my mom likes, so I bought it.

    Also got Duplo blocks as my gift to #GS3 (like giant Lego blocks for younger children). #sonTwo and his wife are excited about my visit to #MO. They've already made plans for me to return in a couple of months.

    Let #sonOne know I'll be at his brother's place, three hours away. Now we'll have to schedule a day for him.

    #Daddy_A lives six hours away, and spent too much visiting #SoCal, so he's not coming to visit while I'm there.

      Not only are Duplo blocks *like* Lego blocks, they *are* Lego blocks, and I don't just mean that Duplo is a Lego brand and produced in the same factory, the two systems are actually compatible.

      A Lego 2x2 block fits and sticks to the underside of a Duplo block, and the nob on the top of a Duplo block fits with the pillar in the middle under a Lego 2x2 block.

      That's the reason the Duplo nobs are hollowed-out circles rather than the filled-in circles Lego blocks have! And it's why Duplo undersides have little tabs along the inner edge -- they're not necessary for fitting with Duplo nobs, but they're essential for grabbing Lego nobs!

      @clacke That's good to know. It means he'll still be able to use the remaining Duplo blocks when he's older and gets regular Lego blocks.

      The puppy is a chewer, so there might not be a lot left by then.

      @bobjonkman @clacke

      I remember a large block kit that seemed not-a-big-name-brand at the time when my thirtysomethings were young.
