Toys from my childhood

When I was a kid, legos were my favorite toy.  But I also played with cars, dinosaurs, plastic animals, and dolls.  I had a mix of everything growing up.  I used to build cars and houses out of legos, and sometimes put my toy animals in them.  My best friend is a boy, and we grew up together and are still very close so that could have had an impact on me as well.  I think that having a variety of not very "girly" toys somewhat made me into a tomboy growing up.  I also think that this is still somewhat true today.  I am drawn to things that are not typically advertised for women, but also things that are.  My parents allowed me to have a balanced mix of the influences I grew up with and I think that had a greater impact on me.
