When we owned HobbyTown we would go to the HobbyTown Convention in Lincoln Nebraska.  Anyway, my son Talon and I were walking around on the floor of the convention and passed the PlayMobile booth.  After talking to the Sales rep for a little bit he decided to give me a Mr. T. key chain Lego figure. You know what that means!  It means that for the remainder of the day I would take the figure and point it at Talon and in my best Mr. T. voice tell him that “I pitty the fool!”  Needless to say Talon as quite annoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come the following year we pass the PlayMobile booth and the same Sales Rep is there!  I mention to him how my son hates the Mr. T. keychain that he gave me. (And yes, Talon was with me again)  The Sales Rep goes “OH YEA!” and hands me another one!  Talon rolls his eyes and get another day full of “I PITTY THE FOOL!” Tons of fun…. For me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of MANY “I PITTY THE FOOL” drawings from church!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I like to “color” on my tablet during church.  I’ve since started a series of drawings that I like to call the PITTY THE FOOL series. There are a BUNCH of them and I will usually text them to my brothers and then show Talon (Which will cause him to roll his eyes)  All from a simple Lego figure of Mr. T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
