When I Was A Wee Lass
I…
Baked mud pies in the sun; Pretended my Barbies were super heroes; Watched The Muppet Babies, Pee Wee’s Playhouse & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; Played in my kiddie pool; Spent lots of time in my sandbox, making tiny cities; Caught toads, worms and other creepy crawlies; Wanted to go on far-away adventures (still do); Wore “Jellies“; Went as Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz for Halloween 3 years in a row; Played dress-up and piled on as much jewelry as possible; Loved the little lipstick sample my Mom let me have; Loved going places in town with my Daddy; Remember the big drought of 1988; Drew pictures when I was stuck in doors or had to use my nebulizer; Thought I heard a fairy outside my bedroom window one morning; Hid things from myself on purpose so I’d be excited to find them months later; Was allergic to milk (I grew out of it later); Made a pact with my Dad. If I went to the bathroom by myself at night (I was 3), he would stop smoking. We both kept our promise.; Was terrified of one side of my room (the West wall was haunted); Played games with my baby brother (he was a little prince and I was a little princess); Pretended I lived in Fern Gully; Made a doll house out of a cardboard box; Started writing in a journal when I was 10; Watched Bob Ross and tried to paint was he was painting with my watercolor set; Loved apples, grapes, orange flavored Popsicles & when my Dad made Cream of Wheat in the morning; Ate ketchup with my fingers; Loved “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and thought Jessica Rabbit was awesome; Chewed on leaves from the trees (don’t ask); Was terrified of bees; Loved learning the alphabet with my Sesame Street flash cards; LOVED Sesame Street; Hated Mr. Rogers and The Care Bears; Had a Glow Worm; Collected Pogs & Slammers; Wore footie pajamas; Loved my books even though I couldn’t read yet; Always had outside birthday parties (summer baby); Wanted to be a grown up.

This is very cute. We did a lot of the same things a a kid. I was obsessed with my sandbox, and jellys. I love fern Gully still today, and wanted to live there!

I remember the drought of ’88! We had well water at the time, and it we had the shortest system – and your neighbors kept watering their lawn, which was threatening our water supply! Jerks!
Oooh, I love the 80′s/90′s. I miss pretending there were fairies and living in Fern Gully too!!!! I wanna be a kid again!

Ahhh, some of this stuff took me back. I used to love TMNT and Roger Rabbit. I was also super into Power Rangers when I was in Kindergarten. I will admit that freely now because I can use being in kindergarten as an excuse.

Aww, That’s a fun flash back. I miss being a kid.. When my parents where like “you say you want to grow up, just enjoy your childhood” they were crustin’ right… I love everything you did sans the hate of Carebears. Thats the nickname my dad has given me

Hehe, what a nostalgic entry! Very cute indeed.
I remember I absolutely loved jelly shoes when I was a kid, but my Mum refused to let me wear anything on my feet unless they were made out of leather … Apparently because non-leather footwear was ‘bad for your feet’.

Oh! And in response to the last comment you left on my site …
Funnily enough, what I named my old Betta, Sakaná, pretty much means ‘sushi’ in Japanese … Although at the time, I was under the impression that the word ‘sakaná’ simply meant ‘fish’ in English, so I chose it as his name, haha … Massive fail on my part!
