Those girly 90’s memories
[Cool submission! Thanks, Herm10ne, for bringing the GIRL POWER to this blog!]
I have to admit I was a nerdy kid…While I too played pokemon while sipping mondos, being a girl, there are a few 90’s moments that I felt I must share. Take what you want and leave the rest.
1. Polly pocket. Inevtiably ended up in the vacuum cleaner. I held a grudge every time my mother refused to dig through the vacuum cleaner bag to find them.
2. Babysitters Club Books (and movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112435/) I hid many of them under my mattress because I wasn’t allowed to read the ones that discussed “boys and crushes and things like that”
So, under the mattress they went. I think I went as far as tearing up a section of carpet to hide them Under the carpet, Under my laundry hamper…
And - naturally - Harry Potter. Parents either thought Harry Potter was fine or thought it was from the devil.
I just read every one of those books - in four months time. Decided not to take the risk of my parents finding “devil-books” in my room when I was a child. Too bad I realized I loved them so late.
Should have just hid them under the mattress…
