Memories....

you wore that rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves,and the rainbow went up  one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

you made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven. You washed them down  with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

you had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually
worked.

you owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket.

you even owned roller skates with metal wheels.

you thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute.(Admit it!)

you had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

you had rubber boots for rainy/snowy days - remember Moon Boots
(you then advanced to Duck Shoes in the 80s)?

you had either a "bowl cut" or a "pixie", not to mention the "Dorothy
Hamill" because your mom was sick of braiding your hair. How traumatic
when people thought you were a boy.

your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.

you wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

you begged your mamma  for the electronic game, Simon.

you had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple shredded
outfits.

you spent hours out back on your metal swing set with the trapeze.

you had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

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!

your hairstyle was described as having "wings" 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 Fonzie lunch box to school.

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.

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 completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame
soundtrack albums.

you tried to do lots of arts and crafts things, like yarn and Popsicle
stick Eyes of those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.

you made Shrinky-Dinks!

you used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape
recorder 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.

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 knew every word to Debby Boone's "You light up my life".

you used lip gloss in every flavor imaginable...cherry, cola, rootbeer,
cinnamon...

you wanted a pair of yo-yo's (yes the shoes) or jelly's so bad you
couldn't stand it!

you wore leg warmers.
