never too late, altho' maybe a tad difficult, to turn those lilttle princessess into mad dog killerz. tell them Babrie uses one to take out the Diva Starz or whatever.
With my youngest (almost 6 now), I actually pulled a box of my old GI Joes out of the attic for her to play with at one point. Unfortunately, even at the tender age of 4 (at the time), she was only interested in changing their clothes. The guns were nothing more then fashion accessories to her.
Which, I guess worked out ok, because getting them out for her got me a bit nostalgic. So I poked around on the internet a bit and discovered that those old GI Joes are actually worth quite a bit of money. I promptly rescued them from the black hole toy box that all toys eventually vanish into and took her to Wal-Mart to get a couple replacement Barbies.
It's too late for my oldest daughter (13 years old), sometime in the last 12 months or so she suddenly decided that she cared what her hair looks like and that she dresses well. I suspect that there is a boy somehow involved in all of this, but have not yet been able to produce the needed evidence. I did go and purchase some new cleaning supplies for my gun collection, so I can be cleaning the arsenal at the right moment when the time comes.
