My favorite part, "I want you to make more Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun ok!?!" You go, girl! As a father to a girl who grew up on LEGO, I can say this is totally accurate!

Dear Lego company:
My name is Charlotte. I am 7 years old and I love legos but I don’t like that there are more Lego boy people and barely any Lego girls.
Today I went to a store and saw legos in two sections the girls pink and the boys blue. All the girls did was sit at home, go to the beach, and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, saved people, and had jobs, even swam with sharks.
I want you to make more Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun ok!?!
Thank you.
From Charlotte.

yes! awesome 7 year old!
I've read this on 3 separate posts and it makes my heart happy every time – she's going to grow up to be an awesome woman 🙂

That, suitably paraphrased, is a line that works on soooo many levels. From the mouths of babes……. 🙂
Charlotte totally ROCKS!!! o/
She's so spot on! Why doesn't LEGO just put more female figures into their sets instead of only making the Friends theme sets for the girls? Everyone wants more girl minifigures!
I got the feeling she was mostly talking about Friends, which are pretty lame. Yes, there are some scientists, but mostly they sit by the pool. There are no dragon fighting or space walking Friends.
