    The boys and girls sang the different parts of Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" at parties.
    Do you love? Will you love me forever......

    The last song at the school dance was Always and Forever (always).

    Eddie Murphy made funny movies (Beverly Hills Cops & Trading Places)

    If you were driving 70 on the highway, you were going wayyyyyy too fast!

    Tab soda

    Saccarine was an acceptable sweetener

    When Barbie introduces her boring little sister, Skipper. Wow, now there was a real bummer!!! lol

    lol I had her! I remember thinking as a kid, "why are her boobies so small compared to Barbie's?" Poor prepubescent Skipper! lol


    I was born in '89 and we still did MASH and my brother had a glo worm ... loved saturday morning cartoons, tying my shirts with scrunchies (or one of the circle things where you loop in and over to secure), non-matching socks (but more 'cause I was lazy? lol My mom called me a ragamuffin but maybe she just didn't want me in on "the trend")...

    You had to wear a gym uniform (girls) that was one piece with a zipper up the front, striped on top, solid on the bottom.

    You ever wore a banana clip. Or if you ever had a swirl comb sticking out of a back pocket of your jeans. They were even cooler if the comb was covered in puffy stickers!

    And you feathered your hair like Farrah with it, and applied the super-sized Bonne Bell lip balm -- bubble gum flavor.

    OMG my husband loves that song!!! He runs to it! It drives me crazy everytime I hear it. I was born in '85 and remember a lot of this stuff, but I am more of a 90s kids I guess. I love the 90s on 9 station on Sirius!!

    How about penny loafers with dimes in them to make an emergency call home
    or pay phones charging 20 cents to make a call
    the Pepsi Challenge
    Valley Girls
    Those shoes with the hole in the heel?
    Dr. Schols
    flip flops being called thongs
    recording your favorite songs on cassette when the radio played them
    polaroid cameras
    car phones
    CB radios
    laying on your bed to zip your jeans up
    Forenza sweaters
    What were those layered knit clothes that came out where one size fits all called?

    your students have no idea what you're talking about when you mention the DiCaprio + Danes version of Romeo and Juliet

    I LOVE this movie! This list is so true. I remember watching Dinosaurs, Full House, The Brady Bunch and countless other shows when I was little. <3

    You went to the theater to watch the first version of Star Wars...

    You actually own an original Cabbage Patch doll.... adopted at the time for $80

    Your jeans had purple glitter in the fabric

    You spent every Friday night at the roller rink with your white roller skates and the pom pom tassels

    The first boy you had a crush on, had a bobbed hair cut

    You thought it was cool to have a mullet

    You owned all things Hello Kitty when it was popular the first time around

    Michael Jackson had his original nose

    American Band Stand was what you watched for the latest songs and dances (not MTV)

    Your collar could actually make you hang glide if a big enough wind picked up!

    LOL We've continued the traditions with our 9 year old twins! They are into the Choose Your Own Adventure books and Mad Libs. We even have them watch Beakman's World on Netflix (though that's more 90s)

    You went to the theatre to watch the first version of "Star Wars", dressed up like Yoda:)

    Went from wearing mostly plaid, to mostly leopard with big hair (Ah, the days) DO NOT miss hairspray~ never use it now.

    Madonna was your idol. Knew every word to every song!

    You'll never forget MJ's "Beat it" video~ Was amazing:)

    Couldn't live without your Atari.

    How about having a long enough cord on your phone so you could drag it into your room for some privacy! BTW, my kids play MASH :)

    Oh ya, the intricate ways we would fold notes to pass in class. I wish I could remember some of those.
