I don't have much to say because she is able to articulate my thoughts on the matter. Her insightful words show us - again - that even kids recognize the gender stereotypes that our society puts out there. To me this is further evidence that as adults we need to continuously challenge gender stereotypes that tell girls to like pink and princesses even if we think they are too young to understand. But even Riley recognizes that some girls really do like pink and princesses. And we need to be okay with that.
