Children of the '90's

LucyK! · 27 Mar 2007, 23:57

I don't usually post or forward this kind of c**p but for those it applies to (which perhaps won't be many

) it's frighteningly accurate! I won't humiliate myself by confessing which ones apply to me, but shall we say I can count the one's that don't on one hand!

1. You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air".

2. You remember when it was actually worth getting up on a Saturday morning to watch Live&Kicking (you know the number - 0181 811 8181!) or SM:TV.

3. You had a huge fringe at some point in your childhood.

4. You remember reading and watching "Goosebumps".

5. You took plastic cartoon lunchboxes to school.

6. You remember the craze of YoYo's and Tamagotchis (and the subsequent banning of them in school).

7. You still get the urge to say "Not" after every sentence. Not.

8. You knew that Kimberley, the Pink Ranger, and Tommy, the Green Ranger, were meant to be. <3

9. You collected Pokémon cards.

10. You played and/or collected Pogs.

11. You had a weird alien that lived in gooey stuff in a plastic 'pod' and thought that if you stuck 2 back to back they would have a baby!

31. You thought that "South Park" was hillarious even if you didn't get half the jokes.

Most of those apply to us from the 80's as well.
