I came across this in a blog of True Confessions of Soccer Mom so I copied/pasted it. HOW TRUE!!!! My oldest daughter is already talking to me like the one in 2000's version!:eek3:


Typical teenager leaving the house on a Saturday night: 1980s version:
Parent: Honey, where are you going tonight?
Teen: To the movies, Mom.
Parent: Which one?
Teen: "Back to the Future"
Parent: Which one are we up to?
Teen: I don't know; I lost track...
Parent: Do you want me to iron your slacks and blouse for tonight?
Teen: No, Mom, I'm wearing the acid-washed jeans tonight.
Parent: Ok, are you bringing a cardigan in case it gets chilly?
Teen: No, Mom, I'm wearing my new Bennetton sweater.
Parent: Great; do you have extra money for popcorn and a Coke and a quarter if you need to call home for a ride? Take a $10 bill from my purse if you want.
Teen: Ok, thanks...
Parent: Ok, dear, don't be home later than 11? Your dad and I are going to try to figure out how the new VCR works!
Teen: Ok, don't wait up, Mom!


Typical teenager leaving the house on a Saturday night: 2007
Parent: Where are we off to tonight, girlfriend?
Parent: (A few minutes go by.) You there or what?
Teen: Sorry, Mom, I didn't hear you -- Acon was playing on my iPod.
Parent: Yeah, he's awesome. (Pause). So, where are you headed tonight?
Teen: To the movies; American Pie VII or something sh** like that.
Parent: Cool, let me know how it is, your dad and I are planning on seeing it next week. ... So, is your tee-shirt tight and short enough to see your new belly ring?
Teen: Yep.
Parent: Are your jeans low enough for your thong string and backtat to show -- that was your Sweet 16 birthday present, remember? Oh, don't forget to wear the new thong I got you; you know, the one with the purple lace.
Teen: Of course!
Parent: Can I borrow your Juicy Couture jeans tonight; Dad and I are going out to dinner tonight.
Teen: Definitely...
Parent: Well, ok, here's a fifty and leave your cell on in case we need to reach you. You can put it on vibrate during the movie.
Teen: Sure, Mom, see you Monday after school at Yoga.
Parent: For sure! Have fun, BFF!

There is the problem with today's teens. Parents are treating them like friends not their children!!!!
 
Horror Movies Nightmare on Elm Street, Jaws, Friday the 13th, these types of films were so popular that many sequels followed. On top of that, there were tons of children that dressed as Freddy Krueger or Jason for Halloween. ahh remembers those horrible film!! ahh and other movie such as Legend The Last Unicorn, Never Ending Story, E. T., Star Wars. Good ol' days!

yes, I did wear the lacy fabric for head band and also the many bracelets like she wore.

LOL GTM you were a Madonna wannbe too :giggle:

LOL I Did dress up like her lol but I Didn't wear the lacy sexy bra in the 80's the ways she does show lot of skin LOL
 
All time favorite TV Shows in early 80's for me was "Dukes of Hazzard" and late 80's I remember watching and loving "Perfect Strangers"

They don't seem to have good shows anymore like they did back then.
