A good friend sent this to me. I could help but laugh over how true it was.You all know this was your life "back then"!! LOL! ENJOY!!!
~You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.
~You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.
~You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.
~You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)
~Love's Baby Soft -was the first "real" perfume you ever owned.
~You had nightmares after watching “Fantasy Island.”
~You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.
~You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill" because your Mom was sick of braid ing your hair. People sometimes thought you were a boy!
~Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.
~You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.
~You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.
~You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits.
~You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.
~You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.
~You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with wooden sole & the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water sandals.
~You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!
~You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink.
~Your hairstyle was described as having "wings"or "feathers" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket.
~You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.
~You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic.
~You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.
~Every now and then "It's a Hard Knock Life" from the movie, "Annie" will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.
~YOU had Star Wars action figures, too!
~It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
~You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry: Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?"
~You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.
~You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.Pot holders - I believe they were called loom loopers".
~You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!
~You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.
~You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club. Double score if it was a teddy bear dressed in clothing.
~You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)
~You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics.
~You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.
~You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
~You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.
~You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.
~You spent all your allowance on smurfs and stickers for your sticker album!
