LOL. I thought the same thing. This story is actually a horrible story. The kid took his toy to the store and lost it. Now he wants another one for free. He’s a cute, blond-haired, blue-eyed kid and so everyone says, “isn’t he cute, let’s give him another toy.” It teaches him that there are no consequences to his carelessness. In the long run, he would have been better off doing extra chores to earn money for a new toy.

Seems to me that the kid is learning the law of contract.

Daddy said to send you a email to see if you will send me another one.
Offer.

Sensei Wu also told me it was okay....
Acceptance.

I promise I won't take him to the shop again if you can.
I am also going to send....
Consideration.

So the Lego CSR knew what the kid looked like?

When I was the kid’s age I was writing to beer companies asking for beer bottle labels.

I’d include a stamped return envelope and 3 or 4 weeks later it would arrive stuffed with beer labels.
