Letters: Legos’ appeal transcends gender

Re “You can lead a girl to Legos…,” Opinion, Feb. 28

My son, now 25, was a certified Lego-maniac as a child. He amassed a huge collection of the little bricks and built cities, and especially cars, with them.

After he grew up and moved away, he made it clear he didn’t want me to sell them. However, he is more than happy to let his cousin, a 7-year-old girl, play with them. Now she builds cities, and especially cars. Oh, and she takes ballet lessons too, and she loves to dress up on Oscar night.

So what’s the big deal? Lego bricks appeal to all kids lucky enough to be exposed to them.
