Mom Buys Daughter Regular Legos Instead of Pink;
Community is Shocked & Horrified
by FemiNancy
A community is in shock to discover a local mom purchasing regular Legos in primary colors for her eight-year-old daughter instead of pink.
“What responsible parent would even consider purchasing a toy in a color other than pink for a girl?!? This is 2014, for heaven’s sake! We all know that pink is the only color girls like! We’re absolutely stunned and horrified that this mother is not conforming to the modern marketing tactics the rest of us have accepted,” said one parent.
Another parent of 2 upstanding young daughters who love pink stated, “At first I thought it was an honest mistake—that she was actually buying them for her son.” But further inquiries confirmed they were, indeed, purchased for her daughter. “We can’t have these girls thinking they have choices of different colors they can play with. The packaging doesn’t even have a picture of a princess on it! This is absolutely unacceptable!” lamented another Concerned Parent. ““I’m afraid my own daughter may start to think she has choices, too!”
The cashier at the store where the Legos were purchased, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed he offered to exchange sets, but the parent refused. “What’s next?” he asked. “Allowing her son to play with them, too, instead of buying him his own set (in primary colors, of course)? What will happen to the store’s profits?”
Parents also voiced concern about other parenting choices made by this mom, from allowing her daughter to wear blue shirts without sequins or glitter, to signing her up for a local tee-ball league, to letting her dress up for Halloween in costumes other than princess or bride outfits. “I want my daughter to learn that she can play and be involved with whatever activity she is interested in,” the Mom in Question replied, when asked about her outrageous behavior.
Parents in the community are considering their options, ranging from not allowing their children to play with this child, to contacting local toy and department stores to see about the possibilities of further segregating the “boy” and “girl” toy aisles to make sure this doesn’t happen again or even worse, encourage other parents to follow suit.
This mom has also been seen allowing her son, age four, to play with dolls. When asked about what she thinks will happen to her son if he continues to play with dolls, her response was, “Hmmm….Become a good dad, perhaps?” To which another parent replied, “See what I mean? She’s out of control!”
