Childhood Faves...




Something reminded me of the good 'ol times today. I was inspired to create a list of all the things I loved as a kid in the 80's. I may have gotten carried away, but you get the idea. 80's kids all got that email, "You know you grew up in the 80's if...". This email included things like:
26. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf
29. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence

54. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - > YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME

55. You just sang those words to yourself

Whoever came up with this email is awesome!

You just made me all nostalgic. When my hair is long enough, we are going to go out dancing at an 80s club with balloon skirts and side ponytails.
