The great reaction of the father
... that's how the father reacted on Facebook. His son had picked a mermaid doll in the toy store.
Cars, footballs, lego and monster figures - a toy store can be the purest paradise for a little boy. But it does not always have to be the gender-specific toys that children choose. Why should not a boy enjoy Barbie and Co?

The daddy sees the doll as a confirmation of doing everything right: he wants to let his children live the life they want. Whether a boy is interested in dolls or a girl in cars is unimportant, as long as the child is happy!

As our little video continues to travel, it's a reminder of how much we have embraced and accepted. I've ...
