You're a 90's kid if:
You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCH!"
You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"
You remember when Kurt Cobain, Tu Pac, River Phoenix, and Selena died.
You know that "Whoa!" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on Saturday to watch cartoons.
You got excited when it was Oregon Trail day at school.
You got a new "Goosebumps" book every month.
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off"
You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
You danced to "wannabe" by the Spice Girls, and...
...females had a new motto, and males got a whole lot gayer.
You remember the craze and subsequent banning of slap bracelets and slam books.
You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence... Not!
You played "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" at school and then went home to watch it on TV.
Captain Planet. Enough said.
You knew that Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, and Tommy, the Red Ranger, were meant to be together.
To the last sentence you said "Hey, Tommy was the green* ranger!"
Then you said "And he was the White Ranger!"
When playing Power Rangers with friends, you fought over who got to be who...
...and still all ended up being Tommy.
"The Console Wars" referred to Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis.
You watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York... and tried to pull the pranks on your "intruder" siblings.
"I've fallen and I can't get up!"
You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates
Two words... Trapper Keeper.
You ever got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide
You wore socks over leggings scrunched down
"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS PHANTS PHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCE

You played your tapes on a boombox.
Your favorite song was "The Right Stuff" by New Kids on the Block...
...and when Joey McIntyre was on Dancing With the Stars, you felt like he was a real celebrity.
You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"
You played and or collected "Pogs"
You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere
You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles
Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!
All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.
You begged your parents for a new Beanie Baby every week.
You remember a time before the WB.
"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was the scariest show ever.
You know the Macarena. (BPB people automatically get this one :-p)
"Talk to the hand."
You hoped Brain would finally take over the world.
You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"
You wondered why the plastic Slinky didn't make it down the stairs like the metal one.
When we were younger...
We all wanted L.A. Gear... and L.A. Lights
You weren't allowed to get British Knights (BK) shoes because they looked like gang shoes.
We rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
Gas was $0.95 a gallon and Caller ID was a technological revolution.
We recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.
We called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.
2Pac and Biggie were still alive.
The Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.
We had something called The Dream Team.

Go back to the time when:
Kool-Aid was the drink of choice.
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.
When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.
When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.
When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.
When Toys R Us was cooler than the mall.
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'
'Race issue' ment 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.
A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.
Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.
Where the best form of protection was "circle circle dot dot now I've got my cootie shot, circle circle square square now I've got it everywhere"
It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.
When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.
