Flashback

Someone recently sent me one of those forwards “If you were a little girl in the 70s…” Well, I spent less than a year in the 70s, but some of the “memories” totally took me back:

- You had a "bowl cut" haircut.

- You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.

- You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.

- You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry?”

- You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts.

- You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.

- You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club. Double score if it was a teddy bear dressed in clothing.

- You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (like Are you there God? It's Me, Margaret).

- You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.

Fun stuff!


Soundtrack: Olivia Newton John, "Physical" (which you thought was about aerobics)
