Toys for boys. That was my prime directive for this kind and considerate request, and it is the story about how they came to be that i would like to tell you today. I do not fully agree that there is such a natural distinction... What i mean is, i am not convinced there is such a thing as innately boy's toys and innately girl's toys.
