I definitely want to pick up a glue gun before building another one. The kit’s sticky tabs didn’t work too well for a few of the items. I ended up with the tabs stuck to my fingers more than the model. 🤣

Dickens was a wordy mother, but he had nothing on Hugo. 🤣
Hugo: ”…and that’s the history of the Battle of Waterloo.”
Me: “Okaaaay.” [goes back to reading]
Hugo [later, in the middle of a tense scene]: “Now, about the sewers of Paris—“
Me: “HUGO!”
Hugo: ”…and that’s the history of the Battle of Waterloo.”
Me: “Okaaaay.” [goes back to reading]

The gulf of meaning between the terms "horse play" and "pony play" illustrates why expecting your culture's translation of another's ancient texts to be 100% true to their original intent is dangerous and probably not a good idea.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4iesqtkfladdoarowlki64t/bafkreihznr54dybsxrzfx7v4fwyblukh66niu5rciizzrjfzhrmc3upelm@jpeg)
