YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL 'IN THE OLDEN DAYS' IF.....
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket.
You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven.
You washed them down with snow cones from your
Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.
You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a
stethoscope that actually worked.
You even owned roller skates with metal wheels.
You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute. (Admit it!)
You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.
You had rubber boots for rainy/snowy days - remember
Moon Boots (you then advanced to Duck Shoes in the 80s)?
You had either a "bowl cut" or a "pixie", not to mention
the "Dorothy Hamill" because your mom was sick of
braiding your hair. How traumatic when people thought you were a boy.
Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized
possession.
You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.
You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink
and purple shredded outfits.
You spent hours out back on your metal swing set with the trapeze.
You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.
You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the
buckle).
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 Olson!
You wanted your first kiss to be at the roller rink.
Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" and
you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your
back pocket.
You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her
friends,Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.
You carried a Muppets lunch box to school.
You and your girlfriends would fight 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 even asked your Magic-8 Ball the question: "Who
will I marry...Shawn Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick
Springfield?"
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night
Fever, and Fame soundtrack albums.
You tried to do lots of arts and crafts things, like
yarn and Popsicle stick God's Eyes or those weird
potholders made on a plastic loom.
You made Shrinky-Dinks!
You used to tape record songs off the radio by
holding your portable tape recorder up to the speaker.
You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that
came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader
book club.
You learned everything you needed to know about girl
issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God? It's
me, Margaret.)
You thought Olivia Newton John's song, "Physical"
was about aerobics.
You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or
shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.
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. >
Pass this along to all of the other "30-ish"
girl's you know! It will make them smile too.

I always wanted to be just like Coco. I remember having little leg warmers and dreaming of Leeroy. I alos liked the Wizard of Australia, apart from these things I don't recall anything else.
Yep, I'm offically old too!
Looks like I'm right there with all of you! Glad to see I am in such good company!
