Saturday Night -

The trivia question for today is: what color is the sky at night?
(ONLY Anna can answer this question, all other answers will not be excepted.)

Sorry it's been so long, I TOLD you this was going to be a crazy week.

Here, finally, as promised: A Child of the 90's:

You know you're a 90's kid if...

You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"
Used to be able to, can't anymore.
You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"
Totally remember "How rude!"
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
Definitely - but always by myself . . .
You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
YES!!! On those little green computers and all the kids ALWAYS died and we would name them after our friends in the class and our crushes!!!
You remember reading "Goosebumps"
Only a few, and while my younger nieces could watch the movies, they scared me senseless!!
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off"
Uh, nope.
You remember the craze then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.
YES!!! I used to have a glow in the dark one with stars on it.
You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
I still do that . . . oh wait, I shoudn't have said that . . . Not.
You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.
DUH!!!! Hello? Where have you been?
You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up"
Don't remember that one either.
You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates
I'm not that old!
You ever got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide
Oh yes. Many, many a time. I even made a homemade Slip 'n' Slide for my nieces once or twice.
You wore socks over leggings scrunched down
NEVER! At least not that I can remember . . .
"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS ELEPHANTS ELEPHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCE" he jumped so high high high he touched the sky sky sky and he didnt come back back back til the forth of july ly ly he jumped so low ow ow he stumbed his toe oe oe and thats the end end end of the elephants show ow ow
Most definitely!!! Ah, good times.
You remember boom boxes vs. cd players
I caught the end of that . . .
You knew what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare"
Indeed; but even that was better than the 'boo bahs' they have today.
You remember Alf, the little brown alien from Melmac and Vicki the Robot from "MY Little Wonder" it was "a small wonder"
Remember Alf, who was Vicki?
You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool
Oh yes, my sister liked them, alot . . .
You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"
Most definitely, such CUTE boys!!
You played and or collected "Pogs"
All the time, wish I could find mine now.
You used to pretend to be a MIGHTY MORPHIN Power Ranger and you owned a Skip It
Oh yes, and I hated it when the boys made me be Kimberly just because I was a girl, I hated pink.
You had at least one GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere
I NEVER did, but my niece was obsessed.
You watched the original Care Bears, and Ninja Turtles
Oh for the innocent days of mutated turtles . . . do they have those on DVD yet?
Yikes pencils and erasers were the coolest.
Oh yes, and so was Lisa Frank.
You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out.
Why have a miniature stuffed animal?
You remember a time before the WB.
I remember when the WB was the "Anamaniacs"!!! And Pinky and the Brain!!!
You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
Sorry, no.
You thought it would be so cool to be Alex Mack.
Sorry, no.
You know the Macarena by heart.. LOL
Yep, still do. The best was watching my third grade teacher do it though . . .
"Talk to the hand" ... enough said
So much less work than being polite . . .
You thought Brain would finally take over the world
What are you talking about? I will take over the world one day, just you watch!!!
You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"
Yes, in 10 years the one that says "You know you were in High School in 2005 if you said "YOUR MOM" after everything and drove everyone crazy. I hate that saying.
You were the KING/QUEEN of the Tether ball Court"
Yes, and does it tell you how behind the times Biggs Elementary is that they STILL have teherball courts?
Ren and Stimpy Were Awsome
Sorry, nope.

So, like I promised, a child of the 90's, in the flesh. More later, hopefully. For now, either laugh at me because you watched all that happen from the adult side, or because you weren't even born yet, or because you remember like I do the innocence of childhood . . .

Have a good Sunday everyone,

Love from,
