I remember when: Teen Nikki

March 26, 2011

Uno, dos, siesta
I said a-east, a-west
I met my boyfriend at the candy store
He bought me ice cream, he bought me cake
He brought me home with a belly ache
Mama mama, I’m so sick
Call the doctor quick quick quick
Doctor, doctor will I die?
Count to five and you’ll be alright
I said, a-one, a-two, a-three, a-four, a-five
I’m alive!

I remember when

we used to run around hit each other say “you’re it”
and Cookie crisp with or without milk was the shit

Back to school supplies, and my favorite utensil?
The bubble gum, cinnamon and cherry scented pencils

I used to watch Who’s the Boss with Tony Danza
The Care Bears Daydream, Secret, and Perfect Panda

Ghostbusters came out
Heathcliff and Alley cats
Fraggle Rock the dozers and Uncle Traveling Matt

We had video arcades, all games was a quarter
And Ms.Pac Man was always out of order

Use to watch Jaws
had Underroos for Drawls
Watched Mork and Mindy
Played with Alf and Madballs

My Pet Monster
My Buddy and Kid Sister
Black girls had Nikki, white ones? Teen Skipper

Grease was the word, that movie and the Wiz
The Human Beat Box and The Diabolical Biz

Had a crush on Robin Givens on Head of the class
Had a Spider man Cup and a Superman Glass

Plus silly straws…Three loops every sip

Had a red and a blue one ,cuz the green one split

Before Iverson, DR. J ran Philly
Woody Woodpecker, Barney Bear, Chilly Willy

Gold Nugget rings, with the Cadillac symbol
What’s Happenin’ Fred Berry ,Shirley Hemphill

Rest in peace

Had my Lee Jeans Creased
Pam moved in with Cliff cuz she was his Niece

I remember Duck Tails and the Beagle Boy Crooks
Use to love the Seek and finds in the Highlights books

Popples, Polly Pocket ,sip Capri Suns
And one of my favorite toys ever was the Zebra gun

The books were sweet pickles, they rolled up in a van
It was KRS-One Versus MC Shan

Had the ill fat laces, the ones that used to Glow
And OH shit Alicia Keys on The Cosby Show!

I remember when…

Skip It and Dear Diaries were the toys of the year, when people would put neon band aids on their “Jodeci Boots”, when OPP jackets were the rage….

Wow, that was Alicia Keys? Funny thing about it is…I remember watching that episode. Damn, Bill Cosby is old. lol.

Grease was the bomb movie. Good memories.

I was crazy about Whats Happening. Used to run home from home to watch it. I remember always hating that it wasn’t an hour long show.

Woody Woodpecker was another show me and my sister was crazy about.

I loved my Kid Sister doll! I used to sing that commercial song all the time.

I always thought that was a little boy on the Cosby show until I found out that was Alicia.

I still do the Seek and Finds in the Highlights magazines I get for my classroom.

Man, you talking about the Fat boys got me wanting to see crush groove. I don’t know WHY I don’t have that movie.

Man, What’s happening was the SHOW! I had the biggest crush on Dwayne.

Forgot all about the scented pencils. My fave were the fat scented markers.

I still read Highlights if they happen to be in the doctor’s office. Ssshhh!

T.G.I.F. on ABC used to be the best primetime ever. I miss all those good shows.

Um, I never realized that was Alicia Keys on that Cosby Show episode. She’s dressed like a little boy.
