Where Fault Lies

This may be a surprise to some, but I can categorically say that it is a relief for a child to know that such differences are caused by something beyond their control.

I can well imagine that would be true. And what an awful feeling to think that some genetic malady is your fault. Good for K to have this measure of relief in her heart. Good for you to use Legos effectively as a teaching tool.

But you can't fool me. I know you were just playing with the Legos. She came along and caught you. In a moment of embarrassment, you thought you'd fool her by turning it into a teaching moment. She's onto you though. She probably told everyone at school, "My daddy plays with blocks!"
