IF YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70′S……
1. You had that Fisher Price Doctor’s Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked. Yes
2.
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with
flowers on it. Bike with banana seat, yes; plastic basket, no.3.
You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had
metal wheels. Yes. And not the boot kind. The strap on the shoe kind.4. You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!) Yes, but only cute.
5. You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island. Nope, but hated Herve.
6.
You had either a “bowl cut” or “pixie”, not to mention the “Dorothy
Hamill”. People sometimes thought you were a boy. Actually, while I was a total tomboy, I never cut my hair (at least not the length) and wore it in a long braid most of the time.7. You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days. Rubber boots, yes; snowy days weren’t so much happening in the San Francisco bay area.
8.
YEAH! You owned a “Slip-n-Slide”, on which you injured yourself on a
sprinkler head more than once. hee hee, YES!9. You owned “Klick-Klacks” and smacked yourself in the face more than once! Yep.

11. You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers. Poncho and gauchos, yes; knickers, NO!
12. You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon. Yes. Did not get one.
13.
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny
shredded outfits, or the sunshine family. NO. see tomboy remark above!14. You spent hours in your backyard on your
metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least
once. Yep – it was kind of a contest to see who could make it tip.15. You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color. NO…see tomboy comment.
16.
You had a pair of Doctor Scholl’s sandals (the ones with hard sole
& the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water sandals. NO but I
wanted them.17. You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the
Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture;
and you despised Nellie Oleson. Despised Laura, Nellie and the show. See tomboy comment above.18.
You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink! Weren’t those the innocent days!19. PONG! (“video tennis” ) was the most remarkable futuristic game you’ve ever heard of ! Yes
20. Your hairstyle was described as having “wings” or “feathers” and you kept it “pretty”
with
the comb you kept in your back pocket. When you walked, the “wings”
flapped up and down, looked like you were gonna “take off” Yeah, there was a period when I feathered the front (go Farah).21. You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as
well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie. Yeah, but I despised them. See tomboy comment above!22. You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic. With
the thermos inside some were glass inside and broke the first time you
dropped them. Did have a metal lunchbox and did break the thermos. Can’t remember if it was muppets but wouldn’t be surprised.23. You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend. No; I thought the show was just too dumb for words (although the boys were kinda cute).
24. YOU had Star Wars action figures, too! Yes
25. It was a big event in your household each year when the “Wizard of Oz” would come on TV.
Your
mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags! It was one of the few television shows we were allowed to watch, even if we had to stay up late to see the end.26. You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: “Who will I marry. Shaun
Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David Cassidy?” The only one I thought was cute was David Cassidy.27. You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album. Nope, my musical tastes ran more to the Moody Blues and Beatles.
28

God’s eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic
loom. Egads, can’t remember how many macrame plant hangers I made!29. You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts! Yes.

tape player up to the speaker. Yeah, who knew?31. You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat. No, see tomboy comment above!

with heart or rainbow designs. Sigh, yes.35. You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer. NO.
