Girls on Board
January 9, 2007
I have just returned from a quick hiatus down south, and noticed that many of the girls (9-12 years) that were on board for the 12+ hour flight had their own little device – namely a Nintendo.
The product of choice seemed to be the Game Boy Advance (none of them in lollypop pink), and on the flights that I was on, most of the girls were from the Netherlands. Note: these observations were just after x-mas – so perhaps these devices were the main x-mas gift. Nonetheless, I was thrilled to see so many focused girls playing their way through mazes and dungeons, and ripping the Nintendo out of their brothers hands with a gurgle of words that in my mind could only have said “It’s mine”.
