Master Chef
- You wore a rainbow shirt with half-sleeves, and the rainbow started at the bottom of one sleeve, going across your chest and down the other sleeve.
- You made baby chocolate cakes in your “Easy Bake Oven” and washed them down with snow cones from your “Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.”
- You had the “Fisher-Price Doctor’s Kit” with a stethoscope that actually worked.
- You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and plastic basket with flowers on it.
- You learned to skate on actual skates, not roller blades, with 4 metal wheels on the concrete sidewalk. Helmet and pads? What are those?
- You thought Gopher from “The Love Boat” was cute. Admit it!
- You had nightmares after watching “Fantasy Island.”
- You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy ones. You either had a “bowl cut” or “pixie”, not to mention the “Dorothy Hamill,” because your mom was sick of braiding your hair. Sometimes, people thought you were a boy. {I had a pixie} LOL
- Your “Holly Hobbie” sleeping bag was your most prized possession (and what about the “Holly Hobbie” doll, jewelry box, necklace, etc.)
- You wore a poncho, gauchos or knickers.
- You begged Santa for the electronic game “Simon.”
- You had the “Donny & Marie” dolls with those pink and purple satiny, shredded outfits.
- You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.
- You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color with the long strands hanging down with beads on the ends. Cool!
- You had a pair of Dr. Scholl’s sandals, the ones that were just a buckle and sole.
- You wanted to be Laura Ingalls-Wilder really bad. You wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture, and you despised Nellie Olsen!
- You wanted your first kiss to be at the roller rink.
- Your hairstyle was described as having “wings” or “feathers,” and you kept it “pretty” with the comb in your back pocket.
- You know who “Strawberry Shortcake” is, as well as her friends, “Blueberry Muffin” and “Huckleberry Pie.”
- You carried a “Wonder Woman’ lunchbox to school, and it was metal, not plastic.
- You and your girlfriends would argue over which of “The Dukes of Hazzard” was your boyfriend.
- Every now and then, “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from the movie “Annie” will pop into your brain, and you can’t stop singing it the whole day.
- You had “Star Wars” action figures, too!
- It was a big event in your household each year when the “Wizard of Oz” would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
- You often asked your “Magic 8-Ball” the question: “Who will I marry? Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett or Rick Springfield?”
- You completely wore out your “Grease,” “Saturday Night Fever,” and “Fame” soundtrack record albums.
- You tried to do a lot of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God’s eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.
- You made “Shrinky-Dinks,” and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts.
- You tape recorded songs of the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.
- You couldn’t wait to get the free animal poster when you ordered books from the “Weekly Reader Book Club.” Double score if it was a teddy bear dressed in clothing.
- You learned everything you needed to know about girls issues from Judy Blume books. Remember “Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret ?”
- You thought Olivia Newton-John’s song, “Physical,” was about aerobics. (and of course, wearing cool leg warmers!)
- You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, and your shoelaces had hearts or rainbows on them.
- You wanted to be a “Solid Gold Dancer.”
- You had a “Big Wheel” with a brake on the side and a “Sit-n-Spin.”
- You had subscriptions to “Dynamite” and “Tiger Beat.”
- You spent all your allowance on scratch and sniff stickers for your sticker album!
