I remember: Square Pegs

July 1, 2010

I remember when…

Smurfs was the show; they were “3 apples high”
McDonalds’ had commercials with Grimace and Fry Guys

Girls wore LeTigre, Leggings and Moon Boots
Fellas 2 finger rings, Shell toes and Troop Suits

MCM Leathers, ear rings with the feather
The Get Along gang and Care Bears stuck together

Love-a-lot Bear,
Tenderheart Bear,

…if you were down you got the ‘Care Bear Stare’

Dax Grease, Brush, fresh part for the hair
Arguing who’s the best Hulk Hogan – Ric Flair

Use to watch Charles in Charge and Punky Brewster
Margaux was that girl, Cherie was a loser

Had School Boxes Safe-T Scissors and Glue
All moms wanted to do was watch Donahue

Carrie Bradshaw was first on Square Pegs
Solid Gold Dancers had the best legs

Loved Fraggle Rock, Moms use to hate it
Our American Idol? – Kids Incorporated

Kate & Allie was the show, Press your Luck was the game
Big Bucks! No Whammy! Then my man came

Saved by the Bell, Lisa Turtle was the truth
Perfect Strangers with Larry and Balki Bartokomous

Teen Summit, use to get Saturday poppin
Everyone remembers Ananda, no one Belma Johnson

Changed into play clothes after the school bell
Girls slapped hands sayin’ “fruit-cock-tail”

They were being nasty
Rockin ring pops was classy
All we had was Vaseline to keep from being ashy

If you didn’t eat what she cooked, you weren’t havin dinner
Well I aint eatin Liver
No Dinner

I remember.

    The nostalgia of this post makes me yearn for those days again… especially today.

    Loved The Get-Along Gang. I use to have Montgomery Moose and Dotty. They sat amongst my Cabbage Patch, Rainbow Brite & all my other dolls and watched me pretend I was a star sometimes. 🙂

    I hated Fraggle Rock too. Just never got into it.

    Why is it we only had Vaseline??! Where was the lotion back then? My parents swore by that damn Vaseline- it was the cure to everything, that and salt w/ hot water. *sigh*

    What?! Didn’t feed my….?! *frown*
    Moms and I have to talk. :p
