This thread brings back so many memories of me crying when I was a child because I always wanted to help my father when he would be working on car engines, etc. Of course I was never allowed to because 'that's not for girls'.
My daughter most definitely preferred LEGO to Barbie and I'm pretty sure that she still has them all. In fact I even bought her more last Christmas. We would buy most of her pants in the boys section because they would be more comfortable, and non-logoed (sp?) t-shirts were a staple. Pink was never an option for her and I have only one tank top in pink which I've had for years and have never worn.
Yep. I used to wear dresses/skirts during the summer most of the time as a general rule until we were allowed to wear jeans to work. That ended up being much less expensive and more convenient so my dresses went by the wayside. This year they're coming back because it looks like we're in for a hot summer. It is going to feel weird though after not wearing any for a couple of years.
