My mom stayed at home, to us Saturday was huge because we would get to eat store bought food instead of homemade...Chips A Hoy, Elios Pizza & otter pops, and got to eat it in the den while watching Kids Incorperated. K - I - D - S !!!
Scratch and Snifff Sticker Collection. Ah, dirt.
Lemon Skip-It
Those glasses w/ the 2 lights in the center of the lens. Hooked up to a battery so in the dark all you could see was 2 little red lights.
I played with yo-yos for hours.
No tv during dinner and you had better be at the table by 5:00, and no, turning the clock back 5 minutes and saying I still have 5 minutes! doesn't work!
We knew when it was time to come home when the street lights came on, or b/c we could hear our dads bellow clear across the neighborhood.
My mom never rushed me to the doctor for every sniffle, I got to stay home, eat soup and play with play-do and color.
I still love the smell of Love's Baby Soft, Play-do, Color Forms
Smurfs!
Marine Boy was my favorite cartoon. For those who don't remember it was like Speed Racer under water. And Ultra Man!
We all gathered at some kids house Friday nights for Donnie & Marie, and then when we were older Dukes of Hazard. And then yes, we walked home, no parents, in the dark!
Skin burns from the Slip and Slide
My very first electronic game, Blip, sort of like hand held pong.
I had the original Star Wars and Transformer action figures. My mom tossed them when the kids moved out.
We only had a/c in my parents room and would drag our foam bunk bed mattresses in there to sleep. Got so mad and couldn't understand why some nights we weren't allowed!
