Is it squishy/sticky? No? Just keep moving then

also having cats

And sometimes - is this trash or is it the cat's trash?

Oh hey I know this game! I hate it.

Lol, my husband used to call Crazy Bones the bane of his existence cause he'd step on those little sharp edged things daily.

I mean, if it's not 'I AM SCREAMING AND BLEEDING' it' snot a lego, so that's...something.

And while barefoot, no less.

a dog makes it even more fun

Yes, because sometimes the answer to that question is 'Oh fuck is this a DIAPER? That you PULLED from the TRASH and ATE ALL THE PISS GEL OUT OF?'

Add to the pets one child who is an aspiring large animal veterinarian and things get *really* interesting. Things also expand to the laundry with a game of "what the FUCK did he leave in his pocket?".

Oh. Just a SEVERED GOAT HORN.

a hairball!

It's worse when you're parenting dogs.

Also the plight of every single cat owner on the planet who walks through the house before dawn. That was me this morning. I nearly hit the ceiling when I touched something suspicious with my foot... it was just a toy, but it sure as heck didn't feel like one at 5 a.m. while I was half asleep.

Sadly, even with no children left to blame, this happens more often than I’d like in my house right now! Lol

Followed by: did it break? Do I care if it broke?

I hate that game

There is also the thrilling sequel, “why is this sticky?”

related to "why is this wet?"

To expand the senses, I would add "what on earth is that noise?" which is, you soon learn, less worrying than "why has it gone quiet?"

This is so true. It woke my mother up if the house was too quiet.

And the DLC, “what’s that smell?”

For us pet owners, it is "what did I step in now" and "is it dead or alive"?

And if you have a cat it can be “what did I step on/in now.”

Legos are always fun!

I know this game well with cats. Especially 3am, barefoot & going to bathroom! 😬

"Does your backpack have rocks in it?" Y'all know the answer.....

Also as a cat owner

It tracks at mine with two dogs

followed by 'help me up'

The advanced level is “why is this wet.”

Instead of the expression “I would crawl over broken glass to…” I think we should change it to, “I would walk barefoot over random Legos…”

TFW a lego is the best case scenario.

Better than the alternative, "What did I step in now?"

There's a pet owner version of that game too.

It’s called “What did I step IN now?” Lol

I was going to say. "Ugh...what IS that?"

Then add cats to the mix, it becomes much more exciting!

In my house the answer is almost always rice. I swear he gets rice on the floor at every dinner. Even if no rice is involved. Stepping on cooked rice is deeply unpleasant.

Double the fun by adding a free roaming ferret. 🥴🤣

Not a parent, but a former nurse - this one hurt going in & pulling to get it out.

Yikes, that’s viscious!

My whole body flinched.

The sound I made was something akin to the R2D2 scream 😂

I was making horrified noises, too. I know this because the cat woke up and glared at me.

I apologize to have inconvenienced their highness 😹

She's very forgiving. She's already gone back to sleep.

Oh good 😊

As a child, this is what eventually got me to clear space on my floor. Stepped on a tack which went fully into my toe.

You're a parent? Walking around your house? While barefoot? 🤔🤔🤔🤣

Was it hard or gooey?

Asking the real questions

Jfc and CATS

Does it hurt? (Preferable, over all.) Was it squishy? Do you have animals? Children in diapers?

Fortunately, that one's an easy one when it's a LEGO. XD

Oh I play this game with my chihuahua 🤣

Bird owners get to play this too. Mostly seeds, but I've stepped on toys, chewed up cardboard, and other items that were harder to identify. 🤣🤣🤣

Same!!! Lol. My Grey is always leaving me “gifts”. Lol

While praying it's not warm and wet.

You'll start to identify them based on the pain level.

Cat owners also get to play this game, though in my case at least I know it's never a Lego 😂😂

My cats would 100% steal Lego pieces & leave them randomly around the house, if i had any Lego in here. The boy cat stole my Apple Pencil & it was missing for nearly 2 weeks before i found it near one of the litter boxes

Oh yes. But since I have cats and not kids, and I gave all my old Lego to my little cousin, there's none for them to steal

Yes, step on a #Lego brick once, and you recognize it instantly in the future. 😱🤣

I think I’d prefer the Lego 😸

*squish*

Right between the toes

Lego or slime, anything else is likely ignored…

ten points for goo

Pet owners too. Their most realistic toys become real when you’re just trying to pee at 3:30 am without turning the lights on

I’ll trade you one “what did I step on now” for one “my dog is incontinant I have a brown carpet”. It keeps things pretty lively around here.

And everyone's favorite game, Is This Poop?

Though you can always tell by the pain when it's a Lego piece.

When I think of that I just remember this gem. XD

You don’t need crotch goblins for this game. If you want hard mode, get a few large dogs. Maybe one has a protein disease, maybe another has acid reflux.

same applies as a pet owner

albeit in the case of the pet it is most certainly sh!t while in the case of the infant it is most certainly painful legos

Sometimes it's alive... which is why as kids we learned if we felt anything underfoot to not finish taking that step.

With ours it's usually vomit. Which is slightly better, I guess, but only slightly.

Just a matter of timing, really.

Throw in a dog who leaves half chewed bones all over the house and it's a minefield.

Legos in the dark are the worst
