Thread: You know you grew up in the 70s if you remember these

My friend worldofdan sent this to me. It was fun walk down memory lane . How many do you remember? I remembered all of them.

YOU KNOW YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70's IF:



1. You wore that rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves and the rainbow went up

the sleeve, across your chest and down the other.

2. You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven. You washed them

down with The Snoopy Snow Cone Machine

3. You had that Fisher Price Doctor's kit with a stethoscope that actually

worked. After training with these tools you became an expert at the game of

"operation"

4. You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket. In the early 80's

you moved onto the ever popular 10 speed. Gosh that seat hurt!

5. Your roller skates had metal wheels

6. Admit it......you thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute

the boots (with a little help from your Mom and some plastic bags).

9. You had either a "bowlcut" 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!

18. You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad

19. You wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffled shirt

with the high neck in at least one school picture. You despised Nellie

Olson!

25. You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazard

was your boyfriend

it all day

27. You had Star Wars action figures, too

28. You thought unicorns were real

29. It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz"

would come on TV. Break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!

31. Who will you marry: Shawn Cassidy, Leif Garret,KC and the Sunshine Band

or Rick Springfield?

32. You completely wore-out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Footloose and

Flashdance soundtrack albums

33. You tried to do lots of arts and crafts things, like yarn & popsicle

stick God's Eyes or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.

34. Shrinky-dinks! I still remember how the oven smelled when they were

"baking". Did you have the "dull" colored pencil kind or the "shiny" magic

marker kind?

35. You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable

tape recorder up to the speaker

36. You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you

ordered books from the Weekly Reader book orders your teacher would give you
