Hi John and everyone,

Before I respond to John's letter, I'd like to say this:
As a girl, not so long ago fitting in the Scala and Belville age range, with
three (both older and younger) sisters and three girl cousins, I have to say
that I agree that girls don't like LEGO as much as boys, but I think it's
can't be "blamed" solely on parents OR on TLC. It has to do with both.

Basically, I mean that with just a "leetle" bit parental or other
encouragement (i.e. buying one set, seeing sets at friends' or family's
houses, etc.) and some theme development on TLC's side, girls can get hooked
on lego, and I mean HOOKED.

I have examples for this, such as my cousin and little sister being influenced
by my love to lego. I can explain this in more detail if somebody wants me to • -
I'm simply busy right now and it's long.


Shiri,
  I hope you are right.  So far my little girl is showing some interest in
lego.  I am a little worried that she isn't interested enough.  Although my
wife encourages me by reminding me she is only 10 months old.  ;-)
