In many ways growing up i would have been seen as a typical boy of the 1980s. I liked and played with GI Joe and Transformers and other boy toys and watched their shows. But two of my favorite shows were more on the girly side too. I also loved Rainbow Brite and Care Bears. So much so about the age of 5 my pajamas were rainbow brite. Not the ones pictured above mine were not that pretty and girly but they were also i didn't find out till later in life when i learned my wife had worn the same pair growing up that they were not marketed as boys pjs but as girls. I wish mine could have been as girly as the ones in this picture but mine were blue with footies. I'm glad looking back that my mom was not stuck on the boys only play with boy toys and wear boy clothes. But sadly by the time i was 6 she had passed away and i'll never know how far that could have gone. I through ion the picture of the Care Bears Trash can because its the same one i had at that age,
