When did you stop playing with Barbies?

"[P]robably around 12, nobody wanted to play with toys anymore except me. So I couldn't play with them, since my mom wouldn't let me play with them alone. I would just play with legos instead, although I did impose some barbie style playing on my legos at times, building houses, changing clothes and hairs."
