Today I went to my first High School Assembly since I graduated in 1984. It was Kennedy's Homecoming Assembly and did it bring flashbacks of the 8o's One of the Queen candidates was asked the question, "If you could live in another era, what would it be?" Her response "The 80's"
So, as the day went on I wrote, You grew up in the 80's if:
You wore anything Izod, especially those windbreakers that folded up into a pouch and you could wear around your waist.
You wore your "Izod" shirt collar up.
Three words: "Atari, Apple, and Pong".
Rubik's Cube
You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you in the "tailgunner" position.
The phrase, "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.
You wanted to move to Hawaii, because that's where Magnum lived.
You actually remember Benetton.
You know all the words to the double album set of Grease.
Remember All Skate, Couples skate .
But then you have PacMan, ET, We Are The World and MTV.
Who SHOT J.R.
Jordache Jeans and "Big" hair.
Then I recalled tragedies such as the explosion of the "Challenger", the Iran Contra Scandal. Baby Jessica, The Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, Election of Ronald Reagan. and John Lennon being assassinated, Black Monday and the Chernobyl disaster.
Overall I loved growing up in the 80's!!

I remember all these things - but you are making me feel old. I was married and a mom in the 80's.
