I miss the colorful tapes that came to us through presents and just because. We loved Rugrats and Vegetales. Remember how going fishing meant picking up a small pole with a piece of string and a small magnet at the end. Plus that spinning table with the fish and it can be almost impossible to get them. The one specific crayon box that kept all of our special items in there, like our smelly pencils and good crayons.
The best part of going to sleep at night is getting to look at your cool glow-in-the-dark constellations on the ceiling. Before Legos became a thing, barbies hair brush was the worst thing to ever step on. It really hurt, because it was pointy and long. I loved playing with the parachute in gym. It was the only day pretty much everyone was on the same team for most of the class.
Playing on Kid Pix was the only good part of computer day for library. We could create all these cool designs and patterns with all the fun styles on the site. I remember hitting the town with the play mat that was how I learned how a road worked plus it was the only time my brother and I got along in those days. I remember being jealous of all the cartoons bedrooms as a child, they always were the dream room, especially Arnold, he had a sun roof basically. It was pretty sweet.
The nightmare the came along with learning to play the recorder. I feel so bad for my parents having to listen to my brother and I's terrible playing since we were both so young. The best part about science was when we got to watch Bill Nye. That show was honestly the best show ever I ever watched as a kid that taught me anything. The good thing about cereal boxes when we were young is that they had actual prizes. Those prizes were pretty dang cool at that too.
The Popsicles were the minute maid ones, since they were like actual fruit juice. I mean who cannot resist fruit juice. I could not watch TV without getting the zoobooks commercial. It made me want those books, since they were colorful and were all about animals. The best brownies in the were world, Cosmic Brownies. It felt like they were definitely from another universe.
With my childhood over and my adulthood is starting, I wish that children throughout the future and in the present, have great and happy ones. Even if they are glued to the internet. I am very glad that I grew up without all this high tech around me on a daily basis, so it taught me to love being outside and make friends in my neighborhood. 90's kids are definitely a generation that has been going through some pretty strange trends through these years.
