Lex Drouble

Finally just decided to retype the thing on a school computer.

Title: Impressionable Lex
Characters: Lex, Lionel
Rating: PG or so

Summary: Lex is an impressionable child.

Note: This is a drouble (200 words)

~*~

"Lex, no!  Young males do not play with dolls!"

Four year old Lex stared down at the Barbie in his hands, strands of blonde hair still caught in the small, pink brush.  His father yanked the doll out of his hands, the brush flying across the room.

His dad was really angry.  But Lex liked to play with the pretty doll, rub his fingers over the soft plastic, wonder why she didn't wear underwear, and play with her hair.  He couldn't understand why his father was so upset over the beautiful toy.

"Boys play with masculine figures, Lex.  Not frilly pink dolls meant for girls."  His dad continued to scowl, but maybe he sensed Lex's confusion because his expression softened.  "Here, son, play with this figure.  It's a statuette of Alexander the Great.  See the way he stands tall, muscles bulging, proud chin, defiant expression depicting his inner strength..."

As his dad talked some more about how great the male figure was, how important it was that Lex strive for it, Lex stroked his thumbs along Alexander's chest.  He liked the way it felt, liked the way Alexander looked.

He could see why his dad wanted him to like boys.

Hehe. I just really liked the idea of Lex taking Lionel's teachings so totally the wrong way. But since Alexander liked boys, too, who knows what Lionel was trying to say.

That's a very amusing icon you have there, btw.

wow!
roxy is totally right, this soooo made my smile :D
though I am not really sure how both barbie and ken feels like, since I never played with either of them :)

But I trust Lex' judgement..

I'm glad this is making people smile.

Barbie feels kinda rubbery. Very plastic. But she does have pretty hair. Sometimes really cool outfits. But she's still a horrible toy for little girls since her figure is so impossible.
