From the 80's

My sister forwarded a hilarious email to me, and I have to share it.

You Know You Grew Up In the 80's and 90's if:

1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word SIKE or JENKS.
2. You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do the Carlton.
3. You know that 'WOAH' comes from Joey on Blossom.
4. If you ever watched 'Fraggle Rock.'
5. It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
6. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head.
7. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
8. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.
9. You played the game 'MASH'(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House).
10. You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it.
11. You know the profound meaning of ' WAX ON , WAX OFF.'

21. You have ever played with a Skip-It.
22. You remember boom boxes and people walking around with one on their shoulder like they were all that.
23. You remember watching both Gremlins movies. (I never actually got to see these movies, but I can remember them coming out.)
24. You remember watching Kids Incorporated and the new Mickey Mouse Club on Disney.
25. You remember watching the show Jem.
26. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac.
