Gabby spends time in thrift shops. Junk shops. Flea markets. Rarely but not never garage sales. He builds collections and disperses collections. Most of his collections start with a single find. That single find leads him. He sometimes binges, sometimes is methodical.
The first gender-stereotype board game that he found was in a barn antique store in Maine. The rest he acquired over the next several weeks. And then he sent them to my friend.
To put things in perspective, he sent one boy-stereotype board game.
So – to be clear – a boy could choose between surgeon, professional football player, and astronaut.
A girl could choose between dancer, stewardess, teacher, and nurse. Plus a couple that I can’t figure out. Professional party girl maybe?
Enough said. My friend had a great time with the games – he read the rules, set up the boards, read each card. And overall?
