You know your a child of the 80's when...
 

I realize that not all of us were actually children of the 80's but I think it would be fun for people to rattle of things about the 80's that really stick out like a sore thumb. Something you automatically think of when someone says "the 80's".

So here is what I think of:

New Kids on the Block

you know who Rainbow Brite is :)

(and all the names of her friends and the sprites :p)

I loved Rainbow Brite


Here's another:

Strawberry Shortcake

the SNORKLES!!!

the Care Bears for me it was always the Care Bears

does anyone remember She-Ra and the Princesses of Power?

I had the entire action figure set including the ice castle.. or whatever it was called :eek: I think there was also like a huge swan that they could use as transportation, and a shell-shaped pool that worked like a fountain... hehehe fun stuff! I think my parents still have all that in the attic somewhere?

on my block, there was nothing cooler than a high pony tail to the side, some bike shorts, and scrunchie socks! how cool were we!?

My Little Ponies
the Smurfs on Saturday morning cartoons
Star Wars action figures (before they made their comeback)
Wonder Woman Under-roos

ah, arnette, you're a little off. its the SNORKS. ;)

Hyper color and snap bracelets!!

hehehe thanks for the correction!

I don't know where I got the Snorkles from :p

wearing two pair of scrunch socks, alternating the colors of course!
teased hair- the bigger and rattier, the better
jellies-shoes, bracelets
My Little Pony, She-Ra, Smurfs(which I love!), JEM(remember her?),
Layering bike shorts with a mini-skirt (I NEVER did that;) )
I could go on forever!

I loved Jem! I have the Jem theme song stuck in my head now!!

If you've ever been to a New Kids on the Block Concert (IT WAS SOOOOOOO FUN!!) and you were dissappointed when they officially changed their name to NKOTB. :(

Nobody's mentioned Madonna yet?!?!?!? :eek:
