I was a tomboy, but I had my girl moments. Mom and dad seemed to get me anything.

I didn’t mind tea sets though it was not a big thing. I loved the baking things…candy-makers, etc. I liked the real washer they got me from FAO Schwartz. Mostly because I love machines and watching it work was cool, with the water hose.

I had one doll I liked. She was like a little girl (pretty large size), had a back button that was for blinking, etc. otherwise couldn’t care less about them. For me it was cars and building sets. Liked to play sports but any old games with the neighbors….nothing organized.

I liked playing with building stuff too, like Lincoln Logs or Legos. I also liked being part of a group building forts out of things like evergreen branches and mud in the woods. And I enjoyed the co-ed kickball and other similar games that seemed to spring up regularly when we were kids.

I didn’t hate dolls or tea sets, but they didn’t really hold my interest. And I didn’t really like playing house either. Or school. (The bossiest person was always the teacher. LOL)

I did like doing some “girl” things like jump rope and hopscotch. :)
