ohhhh this is soooo funny. I was really into the polka dots. and if I wasn't on the porch by the time the streetlights came on my behind was getting it that night.
I remember I used to love that song call "saturday love" by cherrelle and alexander o'neal. I used to really like her hair it was wavy and sandy brown. Goodness I could go on all day talking about "those days"

Reminds me of the slam books we used to make. 6th, 7th and 8th grades is when these books were popular. If you're not sure what these are: You take a notebook of blank paper and write something on each page that requires a response such as page 1 would be where you write you name. Page two would be What is your favorite color. Page three would be 'Do you think Joey Horde (the cutest boy in school

!) is cute? And to know who responded on the 1st page which was usually where you would sign in, there would be a number next to your name. So on every page you sign, you just put that number right next to your response.

I remember when I had to be in the house when the street lights came on and if I wanted to go back outside, the porch was where I was...lol...

That brings back so many memories but do u all remember:
1. Travel Foxes...they were tennis shoes

2. bow bitters...they were cartoob characters that would keep the shoe strings together...

3. Frozen cups...the lady up the street would always make them....

Remember when everybody said, "Someday you'll wish you were [insert age you were when they said it]?"
