Did you know that there are Barbie movies? Back in my day there were only Barbie dolls and Barbie Dream Houses and hot pink Barbie convertibles (oh, how I coveted those!!). Unless you have little girls, you probably wouldn't know that the Barbie franchise has moved into animated feature length films. I, however, also know this because Oliver is really into Barbie. He saw this one recently courtesy of some of one of his (girl) friends.
Ryan is a little concerned. I am not. Here's why. This is the conversation we had about Barbie:
Oliver: Mom, why are girls so pretty?
Me: Well if they are good and kind they have a beauty that comes from inside them and shines out from their faces. [How's that for an answer?!?]
O: But why do they wear such pretty dresses?
M: Girls like dresses. Do you like dresses?
O: No! I like trucks. When I grow up I will drive a black pick up truck. It will have missiles on it and I will draw rocket ships on the sides. It will transform into a fighter jet. I will call it "Speed Rocket". But I think girls will really like my truck.
