I Love This!

If you remember this you grew up in the 90's
You're a 90's kid if:


You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"
(all the time in elementary school!)

You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"
(Of Course!!!)

You remember when Kurt Cobain, Tu Pac, River Phoenix, and Selena died.
( I remember Selena and Tupac dying...)

You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"
(When Stephanie Tanner came to CWU we got her to say HOW RUDE! I remember watching Blossom as a family after Fresh Prince!)

You remember when it was actually worth getting up earlyon a Saturday to watch cartoons.
(Heck yeah! Bobby's World! Captain Planet! Looney Toons! Rugrats! Doug! Ren and Stimpy!)

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
(ohhh my favorite computer game besides Kid Pix...I remember when Kindercare got it...and when it went from black and white to color!)

You remember reading "Goosebumps"
(I remember Mom was afraid I would have nightmares if I read them...I think she eventually gave in...when the Easter Bunny brought one book...and I think she was right about the nightmares too!)

You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
(hmm that was wierd wasnt it?!?)

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
(Mel's New Kids on the Block and Beauty and the Beast!!)

You danced to "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, Females: had a new motto, Males: got a whole lot gay-er. (so tell me what you want, what you really really want.)
(ummm who says Ive stopped dancing?!?! Def went to that concert!!!)

You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.
(ohhhhh yes...the slam book...and bracelet)

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
(not really...but I do remember saying that!)

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.
(oh I loved the game show! Watched it everyday after school!)

Captain Planet.
(He's our hero..gonna take polution down to zero!)

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.
(Actually...I wanted the pink and the RED ranger to be together...)

When playing power rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being Tommy.
(I WAS the Pink Ranger...)

You remember when super nintendo's became popular.
(We were true to the original...)

You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates
(ohhhhh those were some fun times! I remember when everybody had their birthday parties at the skating rink in Everett)

Two words... Trapper Keeper.
(Three Words...Never had one!) (although Iwanted the Lisa Frank one)

You never got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide
(just some good bruises...)

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down
(My Absolute Favorite!)

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS PHANTS PHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCEhe jumped so high high high he touched the sky sky sky and he didnt come back back back til the forth of july ly ly he jumped so low ow ow he stubbed his toe toe toe and thats the end end end of the elephants show show show
(ohhh yes! Recess!!)

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players
(I remember my first CD...Celine Dion)

You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool
(I believe I watched their video all the time..)

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"
(Oh I Still Love that show!)

You played and/or collected "Pogs"
(POGS! What a gooood time!)

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere
( I had the Giga Pet and the Nano Baby...and it was so sad when they banned them from school...)

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles
(mhmmm...bon bon's baking cookies girls hurry up on over! my little pony! and ohhh teenage mutant ninja turtles..)

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!
(yep!)

You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out.
(ohhhh do I. It still kills me to see them in Fred Meyer..)

You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.
(Stick On Earings were my every being)

You remember a time before the WB.
(I remember the Frog)

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
(Creeped Out...Scary Nightmares...whatever)

You know the Macarena by heart.
(ohhhhh heeeeeeey macarena!)

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said
(Cause the face aint listenin!)

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"
(ahhh yes...the classic rehtoric)

You remember when everyone went slinky crazy.
(I remember having a slinky...I do not remember the craze)

You remember when razor scooters were cool.
(I think the new generation thinks they are cool still)

When we were younger:
Before the MySpace frenzy...

ohhhh myspace...

Before the Internet & text messaging...
I dont remember life without those...

Before Sidekicks & iPods...
we had disc mans Instead?

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...
still dont use those...

...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.
still do that!

When light up sneakers were cool.
ohhh yes..loved those.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

which ruined the art of a prank call I might add...

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.
ohhh I still record stuff on VCRs!

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.
Oh I remember when Mellie and I used to do that

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.
And they played the Super Sonics in the finals...and beat them

When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.
When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.
When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.
When Toys R Us overuled the mall.


Go back to the time when:
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'
'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.'
It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.
Being old referred to anyone over 20.
A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.
Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.
It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.
When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.
Another Baby Sitter Club and Little Sister (Karen) book came out and you put your name on hold for it at the library.
When Aladdin was new, before the trilogy was complete.
Sockem Boppers
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear
