The Younger You Know...?

I guess this is my time to reminisce about toys I had growing up.  LEGOs were one of the few things that were gender-free.  Did this genderless, race-less, colorless world I knew best (you could be fat but look forward to getting taunted once in a while, especially when a new kid moves to the block) possibly set me up for failure?

Well, LEGO has several lines of building blocks targeted toward boys and of course, the new line for girls is cute and comes in pastel colors. Even the career options have been expanded to veterinarian. They're probably actually soft too but since there are no kids in my life right now, I guess I won't know anytime soon.

Anyway, back to my client hell and making Aunt Flo go away 'cause I'm not going back to the Dr.
