r/TraumatizeThemBack - They Asked The WRONG Person That Question!

This story comes to us from AdventurousTime324.

Boys make fun of little girls for playing with dolls while having a fear of dolls.

Said little girls use that to their advantage to fight back.

"Hello, this is my first time posting here, so kinda nervous, but I posted this story on one of my socials last night as the memory had come back to me due to the fact that I've started to play with my dolls again recently, and my sister suggested that I post this here too since it seemed to fit.

It's quite a funny memory that people here may enjoy.

Hope that it's all properly set for this sub.

Also, quick note that being English is not my first language, there are some things that may not sound too right and some things I just struggled to translate.

So for a quick introduction, I'm a twin who is somewhat of a doll collector alongside my sister in the sense of we like dolls, any dolls that we think look pretty and/or cute.

We buy them when we have the money or gift them to each other.

Thing is, we've been doll crazy since very little, which I guess is normal for a kid, but I just say this to inform y'all that we had a lot of dolls as a kid and would often use Christmas or birthdays to ask our families to get us the latest dolls, usually the more expensive ones we can't easily buy during the year.

In fact, most of our dolls from our current collection comes from our childhood.

One of such dolls is an American Girl doll.

Note we are not from the US.

We are born and raised in Brazil.

These dolls, at least at the time, could not be sent internationally, but we had an uncle that lived in the US, and he bought one for each of us for Christmas since we really wanted them.

Me and my sister absolutely adored our American Girl dolls, and we took them everywhere we possibly could so we could, one, brag about having expensive dolls from the US, two, show off the dolls to our friends and play together with them.

That included the church gatherings at friends' houses.

During those gatherings, the kids would be separated from the adults and taken by the group's teacher for lessons, and in this particular friend's house, an apartment complex, we'd go to the ground floor area with the pool, play area, and event rooms, and we'd stay in one of these event rooms for the lessons since it had a projector and sofas.

After the lessons are done, we'd be free to go around and play until our parents were done and would come down with snacks for us to eat.

And important, these gatherings took place after school at night, so there weren't many people outside in the ground floor during those hours.

It was just our group with occasionally one or two other people down there.

This particular day when we brought our dolls, this group of slightly older boys had joined the group, and just to keep in mind, the usual kids that attended these were around 8 to 11.

Me and my sister in particular I think were around 10 to 11 at the time, while these boys were around, I think, 12 to 14.

Can't fully remember, but they were slightly older than us.

We had been carrying our dolls around the whole day, but of course, the boys didn't say anything in front of the adults, and we didn't think much of it.
