What The Fork?!

After many predictable shopping trips of Johno asking to buy cars, cars and more cars, he surprised me one day by picking out a Barbie doll, dressed in a dive outfit which can miraculously morph into a skimpy bikini upon contact with water, instead. I, of course, respected his choice and indulged in his request and bought him the doll.

I know what you are thinking. I've heard it all. "How can you let your son play with Barbie dolls? If he wants to play with such toys, at least give him a He-Man or something lah."

Other than the fact that it's the 20th century in which charming, hunky men make pink look good on them; can we still find He-Man toys these days? Young people reading this and have no clue what the heck a He-Man is, go google it yourself or just ask the next old but hip person who comes your way. The He-Man issue aside, who says boys fondling Barbie dolls should be frowned upon?

Are you sure seeing a boy hugging a He-Man will make you more at ease and happy? Let's face it - besides beautiful fast cars, the other thing that testosterone is attracted to is a hot girl in a pretty bikini.

I don't think it's a bad idea that my boy is starting his manly preferences and lifestyle at a younger age than others. Moreover, what's better than having the company of a gorgeous bikini babe in a hot tub? Are you the parent who will rather see your son sharing a bath with a gorgeous He-Man?

Look who's laughing now, suckers!
