That is ALOT of toys. @_@ There is no such need for any child to be spoiled like that, I'm 15 and I grew up being taught how to use guns and I played with a stick in the mud. I never played with barbies or anything girly, everytime I got a barbie doll I would put needles and stuff in it. XD
Did you know that in ancient times, pink cloth was wrapped around a baby girl so that demons cannot get to baby boys? Weird, huh. Parents should control the amount of toys they give their kids. I had alot of toys I couldn't play with when I was younger because of allergies, so it was a waste. But since I got younger siblings they were able to use it in the end.
Just don't buy kids this much stuff - they grow out of it all in like a week.
Whoa. Makes me glad that my parents dressed me in primary-colored rompers, and hated the color pink. And does anyone else feel horrified by the sheer amount of plastic in these pictures, sure to end up in landfills?
