| Girls Rule - Boys Drool |
I grew up in a family of all girls. Because of this, I wasn’t exposed to many things my husband knows and loves from his childhood. GI Joe, Transformers and Thundercats are a few that come to mind. I’m not saying that I was devoid of “boy stuff”. I regularly watched Batman and Spiderman and still hold the original Star Wars trilogy as some of the best movies of all time. However, I must admit my ignorance to a lot of after-school television that catered to boys.
When it came to prime-time television, my parents were in control. The basic rules were this, my father was in charge and if sports were on the schedule, that’s what we’d watch. If no sports, he handed the reins to my mother and she selected our evening entertainment. Because of this, we didn’t watch many crime shows because she hated them almost as much as she hated westerns.
