just a few things i miss about the good ol’ days:
smurfs, fraggle rock, and the monchichis. my cabbage patch kid preemie. emmett otter’s jugband christmas. lunchboxes. madonna circa “papa don’t preach” – i had no idea what the song was about, but i loved the music video. skidz pants, stirrup pants, and lycra bike shorts (for everyday wear). not having to wear a bra. looking forward to getting my first period – wtf was i thinking?. luke skywalker and the ewoks. sunday night disney movies on abc. my brownies uniform. the book fair at school. not having to pay rent. not having any concept of what schmucks men can be. he-man and she-ra. making my barbies pretend to have sex – not to mention the barbie pool! nkotb, tiffany, and belinda carlisle.
i loved the book fair. that was always the best day!
