*You've worn leggings and felt stylish.
*You yearned to be part of the Baby-Sitters club.
*You use to love playing with your MY Little Pet Shop.
*You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. *You wore a ponytail on the side of your head and had scrunchies.
*You remember reading "Goosebumps".
*You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off".
*You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
*You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
*You remember the craze then the banning of yo-yo's.
*You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
*You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.

*You thought it would be so cool to be Alex Mack.
*You know the Macarena by heart.
*Talk to the hand" ... enough said.
