How did other people influence how you played Barbies?

"All of my friends but one enjoyed playing the "normal" way--having them run the supermarket or do stuff in the dream house. The one friend who didn't liked playing the same way I did--rough. Our Barbies cursed, insulted and fought each other until one doll ended up flying across the room."
