Has playing Barbies as a child affected who you are today?

"I have realised that I am pretty much the same now as I was as a child. Without Barbies to play with I may have been outdoors a lot more and could of been more active now as an adult, but I feel playing with Barbies allowed me to see what life would be like as an adult. As we all viewed Barbie as an adult, right?"
