I hate the 80's one! I was all grown up already, since 1980 brought me my 20th birthday!

Here's a list I made up of stuff from the 60's!

You may be a child of the 60's if you can remember...

The beginnings of the Brady Bunch

When Mr. Rogers first zipped up his sweater

I was born in the early 60's, and a lot of these made me smile. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

I was born in March of 1960, so, I was there for the whole decade! I don't remember seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, although, I do remember watching Ed Sullivan when I was older.

I was born in 64, and remember almost all of them.
I was just telling my kids about banana seats on our bikes, and how I have a scar on my foot from getting it caught in the spokes when doubling. LOL We'd kill them if they did half of those things now!!!

By Janet on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 - 09:47 am:

I had the Colorforms weather set! LOL I remember all those things (except the Beatles)... I don't know whether to thank you for the memories, or say thanks a bunch for making me feel ancient! LOL

When I was in 4th grade, I got to start wearing pants to school. That was about 1969 or so. Before that I always wore dresses, except for the stretch pants I wore to keep my legs warm in the winter.
