    Yeah I don't see the big deal until they change the Tonka truck from yellow to pink. Doesn't matter what section of the store it's in.

    I guess, but honestly, it's an inconvenience for those of us whose girls are girls and boys are boys.

    My daughters are past the toy stage now, but I wouldn't have cared if they had played with a truck or something. For what it's worth, they were never interested in them, though.

    Vintage Barbie Dolls are probably worth a lot more on eBay than old Tonka trucks

    Probably. Both girls have about 10 Holiday Barbies that sit in their original boxes on shelves in their bedrooms. It's likely those might become valuable.

    They actually played with their dozen or so American Girl dolls. Screw that place--those freakin' dolls were $119 each. I wouldn't donate those when they were done with them. They are boxed in the tops of the girls' closet, in case I have granddaughters one day who might like to play with vintage (freakin' expensive) dolls.

    I think the only toy I retain from childhood is a steel 1958 Texaco Tanker truck. Big enough you could sit on it and push yourself around. The sonofabitch was indestructible. Once shiny red, it is brown with rust now after being left out in too many rains and forgotten under the house for about 25 years. It is still in the toolshed up on the old place. I think it cost Dad $1.98. They sell on Ebay for $40 to $200 bucks now, but mine will just rust on its shelf where I can see it from time to time.

    As a mom of two girls, I unapologetically have treated them like girls. They take ballet and love to dress up. I'm perfectly okay with that. I was the same way, but love football more than most men in the world. My older daughter also loves her some football.

    My younger one said she'll go to the LSU/A & M game this year only if there is some good tailgating beforehand.
