    I may be dating myself here but remember when clipping a roach clip with a feather dangling off of it into your hair was a thing?

    I remember getting them at the fair I think...and my parents stealing them!

    I'd find them laying around, the clip charred with the feathers torn off (probably quite flammable, safety first right!)

    Remember when TV shows came on once per week and if you missed it, you would have to wait for summer reruns to see it again. Everyone who watched the show saw it at the same time, so you could talk about it the next day without someone shouting "Wait, don't say anything! I'm only halfway through season 3!"

    Mine didn't, but SHE wore the heck outta some culottes in the 80s.

    She dressed me like I was going to private school or maybe Hogwarts. No one else wore the stuff I did. I am mildly surprised no one made fun of me, but apparently they thought I dressed like that because I was "rich" (definitely was NOT rich, just an only child with a weird mom)

    Remember when "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny" was the worst insult you could receive? That and "You're a double-decker disconnected Kalahari bushpig!" Although, that may have been a South African insult.
