For the uninitiated like myself, check out this article. I especially like this quote:

“Stories and songs (there was an original album, too) proclaimed that little girls didn’t have to marry a prince and little boys could play with dolls.

“The message is a rather deep one….”

But on another note- Danielle's resource comment- something fun was brought to my attention this morning. Perhaps, because your parents did not have older children, they missed out on the glory that is Free To Be. I grew up on this, since my parents are hippies, and it came out when my older sisters were young ('72, '74), hence the exposure. The wiki and youtube links went around the office today, since some of those 70s children now have young kids and work in my office. So, here ya go. Enjoy the freedom of educational media that is so innocent and heartfelt, you can't help but sing along! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCg9XLb-vHY Hey, I just recently trashed flash cards from college too… hmm…

Danielle, the website is really cool. I started doing geography flashcards (Q. Which countries make up the Iberian Peninsula? A. Spain, Portugal, and Andorra). Online flashcards are much better than the stacks of paper flashcards that I'd saved from college and just recently trashed. So painful to let go of all that knowledge potential! Thanks for the congrats!
