The Missing Piece...

I got it!!!

A What?
A Lego!
What is a Lego!?!?!

Lego is a play on words from the Danish expression leg godt, meaning "play well."
(Lego also means "I study" or "I read" in Latin...)
After learning this was a Danish word, I walked around the store...
With Hannah having so much fun, I wanted to buy her a Lego toy...
I skulked after looking at all the expensive price tags,
and I could have drank a skoal of aquavit to calm my nerves,
I considered dangling myself off the ballast of a life-size lego ship,
These legos are nothing to scoff at, I thought,
You could build a troll, a walrus, even an iceberg.
Wow.
I guess Lego is a pretty neat Danish word...

A man named Kirk Christiansen started a company out of Billund, Denmark in 1932.
His company made ironing boards, stepladders, and wooden toys.
In 1934, when his company had grown to six people, he gave it the name Lego.

Lego was registered as a trademark in Denmark in 1954.
In 1956, Lego started expanding sales to other countries.
In 1958 the "stud-and-tube" style of brick was introduced.
Lego has sold over 190 billion of those little Lego bricks which the company calls "elements."

Lego.
My Wallet now knows a Danish four letter word.
