Here are five entertaining things from my childhood that I miss and my kids don't get to experience today. Born in the late 70's, a child through the 80's and a teenager in the 90's these were five things I did not realize I would one day miss.
1. Spending Friday nights watching T.G.I.F on channel ABC which including shows like Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step and Perfect Strangers.
2. And then waking up the next morning for Saturday Morning Cartoons.
3. This phone, which was popular among teenage girls to have in their bedroom in the '90's.
4. Waiting by the radio to hit record once my favorite song came on the radio.
5. Browsing the shelves at Blockbuster to pick out a movie to rent.
Yes! We didn't realize how great we had it, did we?? I am a bit older than you, but I do remember some of these. My Friday nights were watching The Incredible Hulk! : )
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm new to your blog. I remember watching all the shows you mentioned, along with Who's The Boss - my favorite! I remember phones with cords! Weren't they the best? I have a smartphone, but I do not like it. I miss talking on the phone or face-to-face with friends, not texting. It's as if people no longer know how to communicate, and it's truly sad. Texting is so impersonal. Oh, and I worked at Blockbuster my senior year and loved every minute of it! Those truly were the best days!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, hope you and your children had a great first day back to school! My daughter starts back to school (homeschool via an online Classical Christian school) next Tuesday, and she'll be in the 10th grade. So glad I came across your blog. I like it here and I'll be back to visit again. I'm hoping to get around to updating my blog soon - it's been forever.
