* 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 Holly Hobbie Easy Bake Oven. You washed them down with The Snoopy Snow Cone Machine
*You had that Fisher Price Doctor's kit with a stethoscope that
actually worked. After training with these tools you became an
expert at the game of "operation"
* Legos, Legos, Legos
* You owned a schwin bicycle with a floral banana seat and a basket. In the early 80's you moved onto the ever popular 10 speed. God that seat hurt
* Your roller skates had metal wheels. And strapped on your shoes.
* Admit it......you thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute. You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island
* You had rubber boots for rainy days. Your shoes actually fit inside of the boots (with a little help from your mom and some plastic bags)
* You had sea wees in your bath tub.
* You had either a "bowl cut" or a "pixie" because your mom was sick of braiding your hair.
* Your Holly Hobby sleeping bag was your most prized possession
* You wore a "poncho" with your faux fur "muff" and your clogs
* You begged Santa 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 were into ping pong
* You had homemade braided ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color
* You kept losing your mittens so your mom bought you the kind that were attached by a string
* Your Hello Kitty pencil case was cuter than anyones
* You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad. You wore that
Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffled shirt with the
high neck in at least one school picture. You despised Nelle Olson
* You wanted your first kiss to be at the roller rink
* You tried to make sure that no boys would grab the comb out of
your back pocket and skate away at the roller rink
* Your hairstyle was ever described as having "wings"
* You thought Shaun Cassidy actually wrote the songs "Da Do Run Run and "Hey There Lonely Girl"
* Strawberry Shortcake and her friends Blueberry Muffin and
Huckleberry Pie
* You couldn't wait to be old enough to wear high-heeled shoes...
the one's called "Yo Yo's" with the plastic heel with a hole through it!
* You carried a Muppets lunch box to school
* You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazard was your boyfriend
* You memorized every song on the "Annie" movie and know at least one person who immediately went out and got the Annie afro. Every now and the "Its A Hard Knock Life" will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it all day
* You had Star Wars action figures, too
* You thought unicorns were real
* It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz would come on TV. Break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
* You wanted to be a part of the Von Trappe family
* Light as a feather, stiff as a board
* You loved The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe so much you got the whole Chronicles of Narnia series for Christmas and read them cover to cover
* You completely wore-out your Grease and Saturday Night Fever
soundtrack albums
* You tried to do lots of arts and crafts things, like yarn & popsicle
stick God's Eyes or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom
* Shrinky-dinks! What was so appealing about these?
* You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your miniature tape recorder up to the speaker
* You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Scholastic book orders your teacher would give you. Remember? The order catalogs looked like miniature newspapers
* You learned everything you needed to know about sex and your
period from Judy Blume books
(And I don't want to read any smart comments by you young'uns who don't remember the 70s or even worse, those of you who weren't even born yet. ) ;)
