Bahahhahaha

I think back to my adolescence and wonder if I would have survived if I had today’s social media. I feel like 20 years later there’d still be a meme with a picture of me in one of my wiser teenage moments and my child would be asking me about it.

Idk what just happened in my brain. You unlocked something I didn't know was stored there. If you don't hear from me again you know why

🤣🤣 seriously?? No one else? Ok I am old 😔 I played you on REPEAT

Why is this so true?!

My kids still still have this childhood. They knock on friends doors to ask if they can come out and play, they spend hours in the forest behind the house or down by the lake. They have to come home before dark. Its still normal in my corner of the world.

Best entertainment ever!! Miss them so much.

Haha, me too!

fact!

Ya mon

And the 4 foot tall speakers that went along with it.

It helped the Terminator to find Sarah Connor...

I always thought it was Booboo -TIL duh

Me! Me! I do!

My ADHD brain still does this but nobody understands me :') It also does this with any other obscure niche reference to the past it can think of.

McDonald’s has become unbearable now. I was lucky enough to go into one recently where they actually had a place to order at the counter instead of the kiosk. The employee then proceeded to come around the counter and have me give him my order while he punched it into the kiosk for me. Almost broke the whole store when I decided to pay with cash.

🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes I tell my kid to just stare out the window and make up a story in his head. I don’t think he understands but I remember spending so much time day dreaming, imagining things, completely unplugged (because, well nothing to plug), and so very calm.

Good idea. They would think that they went back to middle ages, when in fact, it was the best time to be a kid!

Take me with you!!!! This world sucks buttts now. I'd give anything to just wonder around the mall with my Orange Julius on a Saturday. No worry of mass shootings or any other weirdness, no worries at all.

Hey, when you grew up to the promise of nuclear war, coming home when the streetlights came in is pretty tame.

I have an old rotary dial phone that still works. It is entertaining to watch my nephew and niece's kids try to make a phone call with it. It is the only phone they are allowed to use at my house. And I won't tell them how to use it.

Yes, it would be fun to time travel LOL!

They wouldn't last five minutes...no smartphone? No wifi? Please.

Since my kids have a lot of the toys I played with as a kid they will at least feel somewhat at home... even in the 80s and 90s. :) and for some reason.... a lot of the pop music that kids listened to in the early-mid 90s is what the kids hear today as background music in Kindergarten and at gym classes. Totally blows my mind when my kids come home and they sing spice girls-songs. And take that. I do not understand it. Lol.

They would if they’d grown up in it. Drop 13 year old you in 2024:: it wouldn’t go well.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

If they can't survive that's a parent problem not a child problem. We are all born knowing nothing.

1985 ... they came team up with Marty McFly and go forward to 2015, get their devices, and take them back with them.

Yes, and mine were also barefoot

Happened to me @ bros wedding..thought it was one of his friend's dad..nope..kid I graduated with...

I can still feel my wet ankles/calfs...

I have one of these floating around my parents house..it has pix of the world trade center from a class trip less than 3 months before they went down....

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just the perfect snack.

Fun fact: Swayze was 35 in that and Grey was 8 years younger

Such a cool actor, and his voice...ohhh !!

I'm still waiting for the flying car that folds up into a briefcase. I'm convinced that it can be done. Gyrocopters are getting close to the flying car and Transformers to the folding car. But I want them together.

Wow, hahaha

It’s amazing we survived. I remember wrapping that cord around my finger over and over again.

I live in a small coastal town and it is so safe that the local kids still do this

I don't think there was a single one that didn't make noise opening and shutting.... You know the unforgettable creaking noise?

I preferred swings and get them going flat out! I was on some swings recently and the thrill is different when you are 72...

Will “kid with the eyebrows” Poulter.

You have died from dysentery.

My first apartment had an entire set stolen from Pizza Hut over numerous visits to their Lunch Buffet.

Oh no. Now eggs are about to become a delicacy. This is the most expensive I've seen eggs ever.

Yep, still have it. Still for casserole. Still eating casserole. No sense in chucking away a good dish.

Whoa

Really?!? I'll never look at her the same

I have a picture of 4 year old me me dressed up in one of these when we still lived on the Navy Base in Japan. My Japanese mom did her best, and I don't remember what happened, but I had a skull mask and a Bozo The Clown suit for my constume. LMAO

Or putting torn up tissues in the cage and watch them blow out again.

I'm happy I'm not the only one with no clue about the lyrics 🤣

These turtle boys don’t cut her no slack

Pigs can turn their head 180 degrees??😳

i just felt that and i don't lke this memory
