i really wanted to cry after reading this, and it's all SO TRUE. this is EVERYTHING about being a kid in the 90's. and this only makes me even more sad to know that i'm growing yet another year older and i can't get back to these days, these days when nothing else mattered ... except playing with barbies and watching clarissa explains it all. (i still wish i had a second story room and a ladder for my friends to just climb into my window ... but i'm glad i don't have a brother named ferguson)
: Remember back...
Before the Internet or Text messaging...
Before Sidekicks & Ipods
Before Playstation2 or X-BOX
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...
When you rented VHS taps.. not DVDs
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing...
When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie...
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our WALKMANS!!!
***Way back...

***Not finished yet...
Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer
Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips
When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year!
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When getting high was swinging on the swingset
When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.
When you begged to go to McDonalds, for dinner...EVERYDAY.
When Toys r Us overuled the "mall"
***Go back to the time when...
nobody had cable & people watched THE BOX on channel 25 & called & paid to watch music videos!!!!
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery....
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
When someone made u mad u would tell them you were going to sue them
Nobody was prettier than Mom
Nobody was cooler than Dad
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the fair...
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
When playing nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When ninja turtles ruled the world.
If you can remember most or all of these,
then you have LIVED IN THE 90's!!!
Post this to your bulletin if you remember these days, these days when you had a blast being a kid!
