TAMPA BAY – Being as delicate as possible, one local father explained to his son what divorce was using what his son knows best, LEGOs, our sources report.

“He’s young, so I had to dumb it down for him,” said Dad as he cracked open a celebratory beer from the fridge. “I said, ‘This brick is Mommy and this brick is Daddy’ and then grabbed the brick separator from the set and said, ‘This is the mediator, judge, and bloodsucking divorce attorneys taking all of Daddy’s money’ and I ripped the bricks apart. I think he understood.”

The boy’s mother also took the time aside to explain to their child the specifics of divorce, and that even though his parents would be separated, they still loved him the same.

“Pretend this house is ours, and this house waaaaaay over here is Daddy’s house,” she motions with a glass of wine she spills over the multi-colored bricks. “So now instead of one Christmas with Mommy and Daddy, you’ll get two! The better one with me and the lesser one with him, but that still means double the LEGOs [sic]!”

Now with two in-depth LEGO demonstrations depicting his parent’s dissolution of marriage, the next step for the soon to be shattered family is to begin standard court proceedings.

“In our one-on-one’s the child seems to grasp the idea of his parents splitting up, but for some reason he believes the cause are his toy blocks,” said the Child Protective Service agent assigned to the annulment. “I keep telling him Luke Skywalker and Gandalf the Grey aren’t the reason Mommy and Daddy are fighting, and the brick separator isn’t going to come out of his closet and get him.”

At press time, the cost of Therapy LEGO sets needed to support the child throughout his youth is expected to make monthly child support payments over $50k.
