S/O tween poll
So, you guys all made me feel really young in the middle school poll. I came into awareness of pop culture way after Kirk Cameron, Tiffany, and NKOTB.
So when were you born?
[Poll]
Re: S/O tween poll
I was a little too old for NKOTB, but I do remember Tiffany well from my middle school days.
I was too old for American Girl dolls, too.
If you were born before my MIL graduated HS, I can't help you!
I was just the right age for them. Sadly, not of the right $$$ persuasion. But, my mom did let me subscribe to the free catalog.
HA! American Girl? Puhlease! I was in 6th grade when Cabbage Patch Kids dolls were all the rage and causing fistfights in stores!
Ahhhh Christmas of '83 I remember it well I was recognizing my mommy's face, voice, and smell, learning to roll over, and starting to bat at toys.
Haha same here, I was about 6 months old. My mom had to fight people in the store for one to get my older sister.
I can't help it if you were slow for a 7 year old.

This! Except I was a Jan 1981 babe. We had one girl in our hall who LOVED BSB. And we all teased her.
This gets an LOL
and I never write that.
both of these!! Jan 1979...I remember getting my first Cabbage Patch doll and NKOTB....and big hair bands!!
Where are all my fellow pre-1975 babies?!? I know I'm not the only one!
1974, here. My first movie was "Star Wars." I remember my dad's snow tunnel from the Blizzard of 1978. I remember George Michael when he was in Wham! and Michael Jackson was still black... I also remember thinking Molly Ringwald was the BOMB!
I'm March '75...is that close enough? I had Thriller and the Footloose soundtrack on vinyl. I saw ET in the theater.
YES! That is close enough-- all these "I feel old but was born in the 80s!" LOL My brother and I used to scare my sister with the Thriller song. And just before Vincent Price would start laughing at the end, my brother and I would say things like "How do you like [my sister]'s hair/face/clothes?" and then he'd laugh and she'd cry. Good times, good times...
Do you still say "album" instead of "cd" when you're talking about an artist having a new release?
And I feel like one of the youngsters being from 1984 (and sans kiddos).
I started teaching high school at 21. Every time something came up in the faculty meetings that were from before my time, everyone would immediately point out that "Susie __________ has no idea what we're talking about." I'd yell "NOPE!" (big faculty in a big auditorium, so I had to yell) And then I'd go back to playing games on my iPod touch.
To this day, I still get the dropped jaw symptom from most of my coworkers because I was the youngest teacher in our school for 5 years straight until a new girl started this year and just BARELY took my crown away.
THIS!
me too!
Thank goodness for Daniele and Clouts, who have me by a few months (I'm Feb '75), or else I'd be the old hag on the board.
Same here from 1981! I was a huge NKOTB fan though.
I work in a high school and the incoming freshman next year were born in 1997!
I am totally late to this, but I think I take the cake. I was born in 1973.
Same here! Kids these days, I tell ya!
