This is Riley asking why girls have to buy pink toys and boys have to buy other coloured stuff. Many comments on YouTube point to the fact that she is probably repeating what her parents say to her... although if you read my older post (here) kids really do understand this stuff. They can come to realize that they don't have to buy into the girls have to like pink and boys have to like blue labels. At a young age, most kids want to play with the "girl" and "boy" toys - in my own experience I was babysitting a neighbour and her male friend of about 6 years old came to visit and was playing with a "girl" toy (I can't remember what it was now)... when his dad saw him playing with the toy he promptly took him away and said that it was for girls.
This story reminded me of the House Hippo!
