I had a Nintendo, Gameboy, Sega Genesis, Playstation and Playstation 2. Those were and are still some of my favorite toys. I had Legos, although more pastel in color. I also climbed trees, played in mud and loved to go outside and get dirty. We had a creek by my house and my cousin’s house, and we always played in them. On the other hand, I had an Easy Bake Oven, dress-up clothes, Barbies and other dolls galor. I loved to wear dresses, although pink never was a favorite color of mine. And I had a million and toys considered “girly.” I still like dolls, but I also love to play games – although sports and fighting games are not my style. It is a shame that some toys are girly and some are for boys. When I was a child, if I wanted a toy I wanted it because it looked fun – not because it was a girl’s toy or a boy’s toy – and that is what we should teach girls today, instead of that Barbie is for girls and GI Joe is for boys.
