I don't ever pass on forwarded emails, but this one made me happy.

You know you grew up in the 80's if:
1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word PSYCH!

2. You wore biker shorts under your skirts and felt stylishly sexy.

3. You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club of your own.

4. Two words: Hammer Pants.

5. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.

6. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

7. You played the game "MASH"(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House).

8. You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it.

9. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF"

10. You took metal lunch boxes to school.

11. You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets.

12. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence.

13. You remember Hypercolor t-shirts.

14. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets.

15. You ever owned a pair of Jelly Shoes.

16. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know you are, but what am I?"

17. You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up"

18. Your skates looked like this:

19. You've gone through this nodding your head in agreement.

20. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks.

21. You wore socks scrunched down (and sometimes still do..getting yelled at by younger hip members of the family).

22. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.

23. You just sang those words to yourself.

24. Homemade cutoff jean shorts.

25. You remember when mullets were cool! (Business in the front, party in the back).

26. You HAD a mullet!

27. You tight rolled your jeans.

28 You had big hair and you knew how to use it.

29. You're still singing 'shot through the heart' in your head, aren't you!

I MADE hammer pants in high

I MADE hammer pants in high school home ec. Then wore them. In public.

My lunchbox was the exact one pictured here. So was my hypercolor shirt, and my jellies, and my skates. And my mullet.

I was too poor for hammer pants, and was so jealous...

My mom wouldn't let me have them

They were too expensive, and looked "trashy". So I traded my friend for a pair of Guess? jeans that were too short for me, and I didn't want them as shorts. So she made them into shorts and gave me bright red hammer pants with velcro closure. God I was cool. I wore them with my turquoise high top reeboks. That's about when I started having "complicated hair".

super funny!

especially because I STILL say/do:
You've ever ended a sentence with the word PSYCH!
You played the game "MASH"(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House).
After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know you are, but what am I?"
my skates still look like that...
AND I tight roll (aka peg where I'm from) my jeans...
