If your girls enjoy acting like a boy, playing with guns and being told what to do all the time, then that would work out just fine.
"Why do you love Star Wars?"
"Umm... the guys are cool."
"The characters?"
"Yeah."
"Who's your favorite character?"
"Luke... and Darth... but not Leia."
"Why not Leia?"
"She shoots backwards."
Pretty advanced people-reading skills for a five-year-old, if you ask me.
Filed under - Entertainment | FamilyFive?? Damn, I've been a fan of Star Wars for a long time and never noticed Leia shoots backwards...but she's right!
My 5 year old thinks she IS a boy. She is always "Michael" when she plays pretend. Guess I better start saving up for that gender identity counseling.
So not me. I am a wussy girly-girl. In fact, I used to beg to have my hair done like Princess Leia's. My favorite was the one at the end of the first movie: Bun on top with braid hanging down.
My father was always my hairstylist. I guess you can breath a sigh of relief you didn't raise ME.
My dad made me into a total sci-fi geek girl. I'm proud of it! You don't have to have a boy to share geeky books and movies with - keep on showing her the cool stuff and when she's 35, she'll bring you all the cool books and go to the movies with you, too!
This is why you must fight the urge to stop your heart--Mr. Dunn!
I am the child of a science geek and it made all the difference that my dad included me in all the cool stuff even though I was a girl.
I still remember our trips to the movies on Friday afternoons--where my good Mo' dad took his baby girl to see--Rocky, Predator, Die Hard, and of course Star Wars!
Keep encouraging her and she may come to the "dark side" with you when she is older!
Maybe it's because I was a repressed mormon, but I looked up the Leia. She kicked @ss AND hooked up with Hans Solo! Not only that, but she looked good doing it, too. No g's on that girl during the whole Jabba the Hutt slave thing.
Young girls need role models like that. Look at who they have now- A bald, suicidal Brittney Spears. Blech.
Oh yeah, I'll take Leia any day. ;)
