You're an 80's child if...
These "Child of the 80's" things used to go around all the time a few years ago. I came across one this morning and for some reason felt like adding my own personal thoughts. They will be in bold. Anything in parentheses came with the original list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're an 80's child if...
You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members. Yep...Jon
You wanted to be on Star Search. (Come on, we all did) Heck yeah I did! Those jr. dancers kicked butt!
You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off. I loved Michael Jackson back in about 84...now, yeah, not so much.
You wore a banana clip or one of those slap on wrist bands at some point during your youth. Yep sure did! I loved banana clips. And my neon orange slap bracelet said "Can't Touch This"
You wore French rolls on the bottom of your splatter painted jeans. Well we didn't call them French rolls but yeah I did. And my favorite jeans were pink and blue splotchy that I bought at Levine's in LaPorte.
You had slouch socks, and puff painted your own shirt at least once. Guilty x 2.
You owned a doll with 'Xavier Roberts' signed on it's butt. More than one...
You know the profound meaning of ''Wax on, Wax off.'' Ah Daniel-san
You can name at least half of the members of the elite ''Brat Pack.'' Emilio, Anthony, Judd, Rob, Andrew, Molly, Ally, and Demi...that's all of them I think.
You can remember watching Full House and Saved by the Bell for endless hours!!!!!! And still will...
You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock. Yep.
You know that another name for a keyboard is a ''Synthesizer.'' Had one.
You hold a special place in your heart for ''Back to the Future.'' Got the box set.
You know where to go if you ''Wanna go where everybody knows your name.'' Never been to Boston.
You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool. (Was there an 80's movie she WASN'T in?) I still like her...why is she not REALLY cool anymore?!
You know what ''Sike'' means. Ew, I have banned that word from my vocabulary. That was just mean. "Give me five (pulling hand away) SIKE!"
You fell victim to 80's fashion: big hair, crimped, combed over to the side, and you wore spandex pants. *sniff* Unfortunately photgraphic evidence of this exists. And I was so mad when my spandex shorts were stolen out of my gym locker.
You wanted to be a Goonie - (hey u guyz!!) Still do.
You owned an extensive collection of Cabbage Patch Kids and trolls. I wouldn't call it extensive...more than one. But I didn't have trolls. I had a Koosa though.
You actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played ''Sam'' to be. Eh...he THOUGHT he was.
You ever wore fluorescent, neon if you will, clothing...(or nail polish) Yep.
You could break dance, or wished you could. (I said hip hop....) Give me a piece of cardboard or linoleum and I'll bust it out just like Kelly in Breakin'...or not.
You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system. (Remember Pong) Fond memories of playing it at my cousin's house.
You know all the words to ''Ice Ice Baby''. HELL F****ING YEAH!
You remember MC hammer well. Before he turned to religion and the Surreal Life.
You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." hehe I LOVE that show!
You own any cassettes. *gasp* What?! Of course I do! And singles too. Want to borrow some? Or I can make you a mix tape if you want.
You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on the moon. I seriously thought it'd be like The Jetsons by now. Where's my flying car?
You remember and/or own any of the CareBear Glass collection from PizzaHut. I think I might have had one...but I broke it.
Poltergeist freaked you out. Still does.
You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET lunchbox. Eh no, Cabbage Patch Kids.
You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf. Yeah...how did they get all those Smurfs then?
You wanted to communicate with some being named Cinergy. Truly outrageous. Truly truly truly outrageous.
You wanted to have an alien like Alf living in your house. I WAS Alf...er, um, don't ask. My family would understand.
You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish. Yes.
You wore tights under shorts and felt stylish. And again, photographic evidence exists. *sigh*
You ever had a Swatch Watch. Two. And a Swatch guard.
You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the Care-Bear stare. Can't say that I did.
You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny. "Well isn't that special?"
You had Wonder Woman or Superman underwear. I had me some stylin' Wonder Woman underoos! Again with photographic evidence.
You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween. No, but I had his punching bag and whooped his ass everytime!
You Believed that ''By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power.'' I wanted to be She-Ra...does that count?
You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye. They WERE!
Partying ''like it's 1999'' seemed SO far away!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah seemed like it would never get here.
If you can identify with at least half of this list then you, my friend, are a ''Child of the 80's.''
