I was about 6 when I opened my Angel Tree present and received the AUTHENTIC Crayola 256 Box Set (I knew how much it cost, something like $25) and not 1, not 2, not even 5, but 10 whole coloring books all for just me! My parents swear they thought I had won the lottery!

These are still around! Last Christmas I bought one for my husband and one for my daughter (and one for myself).

my favorite snack

And wherever they're all at, I guarantee most of them still work

Why are you doing this to us?

Aren't those Tiddly Winks?

I DID!

I don't know if I can throw mine away. It's like saying good bye to a faithful friend. When Spotify is down or my music is so obsolete that it doesn't exist in digital form, my faithful compact disc's will always be there to sing to me. Now, I just don't know what to play them on...

My favorite movie growing up!

I remember listening to conversations on a party-line, 😆

I had this scratch and sniff one that I was really proud of

And there were these extra curricular teachers that would hand them out if you did good or smth like that

of blurry pictures. Remember flash cubes?

My entire life is a lie.

The circling was fun

i can hear the sound of the plastic UUGHHHH

I had the clear phone in my room, and the ringer was LOUD! I would turn off the ringer and it would still light up when it rang, so my friends could call me late at night and not wake up my parents (I had my own phone line in my room paid for by my babysitting money).

And peeling your legs off the pleather seats.

"you are old", ouch

You know what? I'm going to count this as a language. HAHA MULTILINGUAL

I'm not old, I just own a nokia

Me, entering the 7th level of hell when my deaf brother would text me. Finally moving to a smart phone was SUCH an upgrade.

And don't even get us started on how to figure out when someone paged you an actual "message" and how each number corresponded to three letters, then test out all the combinations and hope you got the right one

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ugh, that wasn't a nice thing to write. Now I'm really feeling it.

I’m in my early 30s and I feel very old now!

Who actually knows how this works and if you do did u put the time into finding out what it said

I think this is why I hated texting for so many years. I could not be bothered to try and type out something in this fashion.

My first cell phone lol

Knew what it was going to say before I translated it.

I READ IT AND I WAS BORN IN 2007! 😌😌

I am. Better to be old than dead.

I may be old but I was a pro with my texting game back in the day lol

Nooooo

YOU ARE OLD. LMFAO

Gosh, I miss it. I could text without looking and I was SO fast!

I am.

Excuse me I am 16 I am not old

I don’t know what these specific codes do but I’m old enough to remember why we memorised them

Loves it. Texting was an art form and you could text without looking.

I was so good at writing this way that I turned off T9 cause I was faster

Boobs!

I liked it because I could text without having to look at my screen.

Oof. I felt this in my arthritic back, and knees, and shoulders...

I'm not that old but it was easy to decode

"You are old"

Ahhh Yes.. T9. The good ol days

this keyboard is why l33t shortcut language existed
