Childhood Memories

[Bandalero]

i remember one day i woke up and my brothers were like so how old are you?

Me: 3?
Brothers: your 5.
Me: no, i'm three.
Brothers: your 5, the hell is wrong with you?
Me: dude...i'm three....right? mom how old am i?
Mom: 5.
Me: what the hell happened to 4?

then i got spanked cause i said hell.

[dream in japanese]

4. You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club of your own.

i think i've read every single one of those books
me and my friends use to pretend we were them. I was always Kristy

[Joey]

Ahh I loved Kristy too
I still have a bunch of those books in my basement

[Johnny]

I thought this was cute .. plus I remember all of these things .. damn I'm old

37. You ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide.

Yup, Hurt myself on a bloody slip and slide. How the hell does one injure oneself on a bloody slip and slide?

[Dr. Hobo]

Oh! I love this list!!! I got it in an e-mail years ago.

2. You can sing the rap to the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air."

Oh man, I remember one day in middle school gym class, my ENTIRE class did it. Someone started, and we all just went with it. It was a huge gym of about 50 kids all rapping.

14. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

HECK YES!!!!

15. You made your Mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.

I still have those! One of them's even neon green with white rhinestones. I don't WEAR them anymore, mind you... though, it'd be pretty funny to randomly one day.

27. You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets.

I remember how sad I was when they were banned.

39. You had or attended a birthday party at McDonald's.

My 4th and 5th birthday parties were BOTH at McDonald's... I'm assuming they mean those super-cool McDonald's that were almost completely just a HUGE playground indoors... man, that rocked... except for the giant hamburger that you climbed into, and there was only one curly stairway in the middle, and you couldn't ever get out cos there were always more kids coming up... that SUCKED and made many a little kid cry for mommy.

43. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks.

Oh god, I thought I was SO cool for doing that. The socks HAD to all be different colors, though. And it was cooler (if you only wore two pairs) to have the one color on the top on one foot, and the reverse on the other.

44. You wore socks scrunched down.

They made socks that were made especially for doing that. I still have some and wear them... not scrunched down anymore, though.

54. You know all the words to Bon Jovi.

Bon Jovi singalongs rule all.

[Joey]

hehe I didn't have any of my birthdays at McDonald's but my friend did .. we got to have it in the caboose in the parking lot .. so cool

We had a couple birthday parties at mcdonalds. Me and my brother always had ours together there since our birthdays are only 4 days apart. I liked wearing the crown they gave us. My parents still have pictures from these parties too

[Dr. Hobo]

i think i had a few at mcdonald's back in the day

[clumsychild_]

That list is great..

I once had a pair of jelly shoes but they gave me blisters. Ooh, and playing MASH at recess was soo great and the Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing books still rule.

[Odio La Cabra]

um...okay, im not a child of the 80's, but i remember lots of this stuff...
how is that? i even have an old pair of jelly shoes in my closest that i had when i was like 5

and the goonies still rule

[happening fish]

well okay, late 80's early 90's

[Odio La Cabra]

i remember reno telling us that story

[nelison]

some of those go all the way in to the mid-90's...

[happening fish]

well that way it covers the childhoods of a wide range of ages

[Sonya]

I had a birthday party at McDonald's just a couple years ago!

And last year, I went to a guy's McDonald b-day party, and he was 21!

They're still (relatively) cool. I guess?

Jellies were evil. As were Slip-And-Slides... slip and bleed from the aaaaaaaaaaaaaanus. Ahh, Dane Cook.
