You are a child of the 80's if...

Snap bracelets were always getting you in trouble at school.

You ever wrote with a Squiggle Writer Pen or played with "My Little Ponies." Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be broken.

You've ever read Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, The Boxcar Children, The Babysitters Club or Sweet Valley High.

You knew all the words to "Ice Ice Baby."

You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween.

You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members.

You remember the New Kids On The Block.

You wanted to be on Star Search.

You had Garbage Pal trading cards

You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic surgery.

You wore one of those T-shirt rings or a scrunchi on one side of your shirt during your youth.

You were styling with your peg legged pants.

You wore multiple pairs of socks in the middle of the summer just so you could be "hip."

Two Words: Leg warmers.

You have puff painted your own shirt at least once.

The Cosby Show, Alf, or Out of This World was prime time television.

You remember when TGIF and Step by Step first got started.

You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off."

You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power and He-Man cancelled.

You can remember watching Full House and Saved by the Bell for endless hours, when they were new episodes.

You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.

You hold a special place in your heart for "Back to the Future."

You know where to go if "you wanna go where everybody knows your name." You remember Madonna in her cone stage.

You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince."

You ever wore fluorescent-neon clothing.

You could breakdance, or wished you could.

You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system.

You remember M.C. Hammer.

You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air."

You can recite the theme to Ducktales.

You own any cassettes.

You owned a pair of L.A. Gear, Keds, or Converse tennis shoes.

You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, or an ET lunchbox.

You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female Smurf. (And how come Baby Smurf never grew up...)

You know about My Little Pony, Gummy Bears, Transformers,

You can't do that on Television, Noozles, KIDS Incorporated, Captain Kangaroo, Double Dare and Hey Dude are familiar to you.

You ever had a Swatch Watch or a Donnie and Burke

You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the "Care Bear Stare."

You had Wonder Woman or Superman underoos.

You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.

You spent hours in the basement building and re-building Lego cities.

Do Polly Pockets, or Popples ring a bell?

Big wheels and bicycles with streamers were the way to go.

With your Playskool record player you sang back up to Debbie Gibson or Paula Abdul.

"Party like it's 1999," seemed SO far away!!

You stayed up all night listening to Teddy Rupskin.

Can we say Trapper Keeper?

Can you tell you how to get to Sesame Street?

If you wanted to be on the GLADIATORS!!!

If you still have a crimper in your bathroom drawer.

If you remember singing Amy Grant's "Baby, Baby."

You owned an Indiana Jones hat.

You watched original episodes of the Muppet Show.

You had more than one Star Wars action figure.

You loved your pink jeans, black stretch pants and big loop earrings.

If you wanted to pick a lock with a toothbrush just like MacGyver.

You remember when rollerblades were the new thing.

If you learned how to spell mouse from the Mickey Mouse Club theme song or you remember Britney and Justin as members!

You felt like a big girl when your mom bought you GIRL TALK.

You used to wear bright pink slip-ons and jelly shoes.

You used to compare your little brother to Ferguson.

You were scared of the Gremlins.

You remember when Ren and Stimpy were a new show.

Inspector Gadget was part of your daily ritual.

The Wonder Years was a part of your daily life.

You had Hotwheel races.

When MTV was all about Rock Hard videos and BIG hair first aired in 1981!

You remember PeeWee's PlayHouse and Fanny Packs.

You keep your hot pink lipstick in a caboodle.

You could not get enough hair spray on those bangs.

How many trolls did you have?

Does "Heroes in a half shell" mean anything to you?

Everything was rad, totally awesome and tubular!!!

You remember when the original Nintendo was the best $100 you could spend. You owned a Ghost Busters action figure, a GI-Joe, and a Hollywood Hair Barbie. You loved to play with your glow-in-the-dark plastic jewelry?

You envied Rainbow Bright's fashion sense.

You wanted to go to the bozo show?

You remember when there was no Barney.
