46. "Miss MARY MACK MACK MACK, all dressed in BLACK BLACK BLACK"


Or recall:

Miss marry had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell, miss marry sat upon it and broke her ......
and all those other favorite hand slap games.....


or even better yet at sleep over trying to do "light as a feather" and lift a body up..... or

going into the girls bathroom and saying bloody mary and freaking out by the time you hit the third time......

those remnd me of growing p inthe ( 70s) and 80s and evrything on the list above

i still use the "light as a feather, stiff as a board" mantra to relax and go to sleep.

:cool:

y'know, A LOT of that list is more from the 90s than the 80s.
i remember a lot of it growing up, and i was all of four in 89.

Ah... my childhood just flashed before my eyes. LOL

It's kind of funny watching young kids now-a-days playing with My Little Pony (which I saw a commercial for today) and Strawberry Shortcake. My roommate and I joke about how they are trying to be like us 80 kids....haha....And yes 82 was a good year.

What, no Lazer Tag?

I just showed this to my daughter, who just turned 23. She is going to forward it to her best friend as soon as she stops laughing!

We just moved recently and while packing up stuff out of our attic, we found an envelope with some Garbage Pail kids in it. She has decided to keep it, along with the old set of Strawberry Shortcake sheets we also found.
