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.

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 remember wanting one of the american phones with the free skipping rope/really long cord that could go from here to the moon and back and still have enough room to tie up your annoying sister

Our house phone came with a bunch of rules. Girls NEVER call boys. Had to sit in the kitchen to talk on phone within earshot of my parents. Had a three minute egg timer, the kind with the sand in the hourglass, that we had to start as soon as we got on the phone. Only exception to a longer call was getting help/sharing info about homework assignments.

Lol when you heard someone downstairs pick up the phone. Listening creeper. Yelling at brother to hang up the phone. I had to edit. These phones like the rotary phones rang the loudest. You would wake up out your casket for the damn ringer on.

Now, YOU are attached to the phone and you don't pick up if the calling number is unknown, while you are leaning on a wall...🤔 😔

My uncle had a phone hanging on the wall in the corridor of his house. He was very tightfisted, so he discouraged all his family members from calling someone by picking a cold, draughty place with nowhere to sit as a place for the phone.

I would play tricks on my ex-husband with our "kitchen" phone. I'd take the cord from the phone to the receiver off and arrange for a friend to call at a certain time, while I was cooking supper. I'd have to go to the bathroom and my ex would have to take over the cooking when the phone would ring. He'd answer it, not noticing that the cord was gone at first. I'd come back with the cord, "Missing something?" Really made him mad. It was fun times.

I miss being able to slam the phone down in anger.

I parents still have one attached to a wall like this.

mine was rotary

With a 30 foot cord so that it reached throughout the house.

And there were no spam calls back then.

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

Always
