Memories of a 90s child....
You're a 90's kid if:
You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"
You know that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
You remember reading "Goosebumps"
You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
You had one of those yo yo's wit a brain.
You ever had a pokemon battle wit cards..... and got mad cuz you lost
You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.
Captain Planet.
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!!!!
*later to be white
When playing power rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being tommy.
You remember when super nintendo's became popular.
You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"
You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates
You never got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide
You wore socks over leggings scrunched down
You remember boom boxes vs. cd players
You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool
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, and Ninja Turtles
Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!
You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out.
You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.
You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
You know the Macarena by heart.
"Talk to the hand" ... enough said
You thought Brain woud finally take over the world
You remember when everyone went slinky crazy.
You remember when razor scooters were cool.
when we were younger:
Before the MySpace frenzy.
Before the Internet & text messaging.
Before Sidekicks & iPods.
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX.
Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.
WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL
When you rented VHS tapes, 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.
When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.
Way back....
Tag.
Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk.
Red Light, Green Light.
Heads Up 7 Up.
Scrunchies.
Neon shorts.
Playing Kickball & Dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Hopskotch.
Slip-n-Slides....the real ones
Tree Houses.
Hula Hoops.
HELLO....HOT WHEELS!!!!!
The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies.
Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King.
Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.
Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car!!!
Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's watching Power Rangers!!!, pokemon, Hey Arnold, Doug, Rugrats, magic school bus, Mummies Alive, pinky and the brain, Sailor Moon, wishbone,bill-nye the science guy!, MR RODGERS!!!!, The Big Comfy Couch
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**I TOTALLY DID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Class field trips.
When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.
When Toys R Us overuled the mall.
Go back to the time when:
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.
'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'.
It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.
Being old referred to anyone over 20.
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.
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear....
