Lego my Torah

My 6-year-old son’s having a playdate right now. There are clinking noises and murmurs coming through the open door to his room. And then I hear my son say this: “I’ll trade you a Jewish Bible.” A what?!
You heard right, he’s trying to trade his friend a Torah, that ancient fount of sacred wisdom. “What are you gonna trade for?” I call out, hoping it’s a Koran or The Book of Mormon or somesuch — something we can use. But no, it’s for Lego pieces.
And that’s what the world’s come to, my friends — 6-year-olds trying to trade their Torahs for Lego pieces.
This never would have happened when Bill Clinton was president.
