A big part of me wanted to buy that kid a GI Joe. Spread the love!
I SOOOOO do that! My wife and I have not been blessed with children of our own yet but several of our friends have toddlers and such running around. I totally buy them all GI JOE's all the time! Just gave an Ice Viper and Snake Eyes to my neighbor's son Julian this week. I see him out in the yard playing with his Night Raven and once in a while I let him come in to bomb the USS FLAGG I have. Imagination is one of the few things that has transcended the test of time. Like so many other things, if it is not used, it is lost. They may call us dorks or nerds or whatever. But the fact of the matter is that we are simply enjoying a hobby to its fullest. There is nothing wrong with embracing who you are (if who you are is harmless to others that is)
