Post three items from your childhood
Anything that brings back good childhood (not highschool) memories...could be toys, food, movies, etc.
Re: Post three items from your childhood
We were poor and couldn't afford theme parks. So my mom would take us to deserted parking lots and drive around in circles and take sharp turns so we'd fly off the bean bag chairs in the back.
No, not the safest vehicle for transporting children, but it sure was the funnest!
My grandfather had a house on a lake with a ski boat, so we would spend weekends tubing and skiing
Made with sugar, milk and cinnamon.
I was a bit of a tomboy.
...and fighting with my brother over which of us was going to get stuck with the stupid rice krispies.
I loved those little cereal boxes (I am a cartoonist and I use cereal boxes to paint characters on --- for Christmas, I gave a "series" of them to a friend -- I used the little pint sized boxes)
Popples:
Salute Your Shorts:
Nerds cereal:
My Lunch Blog
This is what my first 10 speed looked like that I got for my 9th birthday. A Huffy Santa Fe!
Got my ears pierced when I was 9. It was a huge deal:
The ice cream truck coming by every Friday night around 9:00 p.m. All of the neighborhood kids would wait in anticipation, in the dark, on the street corner with a fistfull of quarters:
My favorite toy/cartoon as a kid:
Loved loved loved me some SNICK.
And my favorite cereal, which is still available:
Can't PIP at work but...
Jem and the Holograms (which I got all excited about when I saw they had it on DVDs, watched as an adult and was highly disappointed...I mean come on, how many near-death experiences can a pink-haired rocker girl have in a half hour episode?)
Acid washed jeans, rolled and pinned on the bottoms
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the originals, not the stupid new ones where they don't have eyes)
Hypercolor clothing (the pants were the best - you'd smack yourself on the butt and walk around with handprints on your butt)
Guess jeans
Jean jackets
Metal hair bands
Gee, can anyone guess what decade I grew up in?
Ha! I didn't own the pants, but I knew someone who did and would borrow them occasionally.
Can't do PIP's from work, but:
Babysitter's Club books/Sweet Valley High
The Goosebumps series
Cream of Wheat
She-Ra
Berenstain Bears
Reading Rainbow every Saturday morning
Camping with the Fam every summer (Though we weren't this photogenic.)
Does anyone remember Get in Shape, Girl!?

Yes! I had a bunch of them!
Does anyone remember Moondreamers?? I loved those toys. Care bears, rainbow brite, strawberry shortcake. I know they still have the toys around but the 80s ones were WAY better.
Schwin banana seat bicycle
A skipit
We got one of these stupid cheap slip and slides almost every summer.
What is a Moondreamer?
LOL why did you change your pics?!
Do mine eyes deceive me or did you just change all of your childhood memories?
BUSTED!
lol I went back and read the OP and it was "not high school related". So.... I pulled the old switcheroo.
I read a few of those, Broc.
Strawberry Shortcake dolls
Little Twin Stars (my favorite Sanrio characters)
Cabbage Patch Kids
