Childhood memories

[Hootie]

Oh my gosh...GIRL TALK~ or what about that dating one with the fake phone and the different looking guys and gals you stuck in it and they talked on the phone with each other? LMAO

How about running through the sprinkler, slip n' slide, blowing bubbles, hop skotch, hide and seek, catching lightning bugs...

I could go on forever

This is a nice break after having a stressful week of tests! I wish I could go back to my childhood right now..haha..

-Being excited all week to watch TGIF when Full House was still on the lineup of shows
-Playing 4-square at recess
-Lunchboxes
-Waking up at 6am to watch Rocky & Bullwinkle on Saturday mornings..it was the first thing to come on so right before it they had a fighter jet flying by Mt.Rushmore with Star Spangled Banner playing in the background, I think
-Remember Popples?!

Ladies, the game with the phone was Dream Phone.....I know because I reallly wanted it!
Parents take note: this game revolves around girls calling imaginary boys on a pretend pink cordless phone to find out which ones have crushes on them. Like the old-fashioned game of Clue, the object is to discover the secret admirer by eliminating suspects from a clue sheet. Girls pick a card with a boy's picture and telephone number on it, then dial his number to hear a programmed young male voice say something like, "Hi, this is Phil. Your secret admirer likes sports, except volleyball." Crosscheck the game board and see that Scott's a serious volleyball player--and scratch him off your list of admirers. Girls who are just getting interested in boys will find this game a blast, but older girls may find it juvenile. Comes with a comprehensive instruction booklet, phone, game board, playing cards, and a pad of clue sheets.




Girl Talk:

Looks better without makeup... secretly loves vegetables... born to be famous. Would your friends describe you this way? With Girl Talk, the game of Truth or Dare, you can find out. Are you willing to walk around the room holding your ankles while clucking like a chicken? Call a guy and tell him something gross? Hold onto your tongue while singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"? If not, you may have to wear a Big Blazing Red Zit Sticker on your face! Oh, the horror! LOL With each twirl of the spinner, you have the opportunity to make a royal fool of yourself in front of your friends--and earn points for doing it, too! Girl Talk is the perfect game for sleepovers, summer camp, or giggly girl get-togethers. Girl Talk is for two or more players.

I was a big fan of Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, She-Ra, Jem, Care Bears, and My Little Pony.

I also frequently dressed up like Madonna and lip-synced to the cassette tape with a hairbrush as my mircophone.

Man Sandy, you really reached into the memory bag with those!!! I totally forgot! Anyone else read those Fear Street books?

Okay, another one I can't remember...it was a playground game in elementary school. It was a metal pole with a vollyball-type ball attached to the pole by a rope. You had to hit the ball around the pole and not get hit by it. It starts with a "T"...I was thinking about it the whole way home and the minute I sat in front of my computer, I forgot!

Tetherball!

And no, I'm not gonna post my ancient memories or most of y'all will laugh!
