I Didn't Play With Barbies And Other Reasons I'm Not Cool

I didn't play with Barbies. Or any of those dolls that allow you to give them makeovers with play makeup or by cutting their hair. As a result, I'm cosmetically challenged and have suffered a series of bad haircuts. These are my confessions.

Gender Stereotypes in the Classroom

I recently overheard this conversation in my cadet class.

girl 1: Lets watch "Cheetah Girls."
boy: Who wants to watch a movie about girls? ( This will undoubtedly change in about 6 years when he's ordering "Girls Gone Wild 6" on Pay Per View.)
girl 2: Me! I love "Cheetah Girls!" The boys can watch G.I. Joe or something.
boy 2: That's G.I. Joe: Vigor vs. Valor, thank you very much.

Kids say the darndest things.
