When I was but a lad in kindergarten, I loved to play with the doll house we had in the classroom. We went all day and switched rooms at noon, and I would be complaining to fit the band when they dragged me from it. So I guess a lot of the old gender stereotypes were lost on me.

Forty years later, The Sims came out, and I was in heaven once again.
