Slave 1 (75060) - Mom Freaks Out

Another 1.25 hours spent building last night and we managed to get most of the way through chapter 5. We did a lot of work to the underside of the ship, where the engines are and got to work with a few new colors (much to mom's enjoyment and pleasure). You can see the light, transparent blue engine thrusters in the 2 circular and 1 rectangular sections.

However, the most enjoyable (at least for me) aspect of the evening was after mom finished putting together the circular engine frame. That's the piece right underneath the rectangular engine in the picture above. It's got the two curved wings on the side that kind of encircle the outer edges of the round engine thrusters.

Anyway, that piece is supposed to be symmetrical down the center. Well, somehow my mom managed to build it such that one arm was longer than the other. Not noticing this, she very proudly proclaimed how beautiful it was and how clever she was to have finished it. Of course, I had to burst her bubble and asked her why one arm was longer than the other. She looked at it, shrieked and said very loudly WHY WHY WHY?

It's not nearly as funny in the re-telling as it was in person, given how proud she was of building the piece. And NO, I am NOT being mean by laughing at her!
