Puzzled

So I was at the mall today during lunch. For...things. Anyway, I stopped in at the KB Toys Store to browse the goods. Yes, I am nearly 26 and I still have moments I want to play with GI Joes or Micro Machines. Laugh if you like. :) So as I was wandering the isles I saw a set of three wooden puzzels for eight bucks. I had enough on me and I love these types of puzzels so I bought it. After work I went home and broke it out on the couch. The puzzels are of the "sure you can take it apart, but I bet you can't put it back together" variety. I saw what I thought to be the simple one and proceded to undo it. An hour later I was looking at the cheat sheet and laughing at myself. I couldn't do it... So I picked up the one that looked the hardest and examined it. I remember clearly thinking..."wait, this will be uber easy!". Yea, right. The instant it came undone I realized why it would never go back together in my hands. (BTW, a cheat sheet is only helpful if you understand "step 1". =/ sigh) Ok, since I have effectivly crushed my ego by this point, lets try the third one. I'll just say I wasn't able to take it apart...their by defeating the purpose of having it.

Good thing my ego is not important to me or these puzzles would have reduced me to a shell of a man. =D

Hey, dont we all?? Sometimes when I see toys and things the only way I really feel different from how I was as a kid is my inner voice telling me "your older now...your older now" I wonder if I will always feel like that.
